Annual Asset Management Business Plans

Clients have used our Operating Performance Benchmark Analysis on an annual basis starting in 2017.

  • MFC Benchmarking reports support annual business planning, providing insights into a property’s competitive position. Impact of implementing annual business plan items can be measured as part of the next planning cycle.
  • MFC reports also support annual hold/sell analyses, a critical aspect of property annual plans.

STATVAL™

Automated Statistical Valuation

The MFC Statistical Valuation Software Application (STATVAL™) provides an automated and cost-effective method to perform Property-Level Analytics. Clients use output either on a stand-alone basis and/or feed output into Client Asset Management and Underwriting Models. STATVAL™ applies the Income Capitalization Method in a manner that utilizes verifiable data and statistically matches underwriting assumptions used to calculate DSCR and LTV on documented Loan Originations. Once the Subject Property has been entered into STATVAL™, a Benchmark Underwriting may be executed in as little as 5-10 minutes. In addition to Property-Level Analytics, STATVAL provides Market-Level Research Dataset Downloads and Statistics. These tools provide a cost-effective complement to both in-house and external data and analytics.

AGENCY CMBS SURVEILLANCE
SUBORDINATE AND CONTROLLING CLASS INVESTMENTS

The STATVAL™ CMBS Surveillance Module is our most advanced application. The Module is a direct outgrowth of over a decade of experience in proprietary investment and risk management analytics related to FREMF Series K Controlling Class Tranches. The Module enables owners, buyers, sellers, and brokers of FREMF Series K Controlling Class Tranches to quickly obtain a reliable current LTV, DSCR, and levered income return on each asset. This allows users to identify loans that are likely to require capital to pay debt service, fund capital expenditures, or refinance. The user can then import identified properties into STATVAL™ Property-Level Analytics templates for a deep-dive underwriting.
