Analyzing Your First (or Fifth) Deal?
You found a 12-unit strip center or a 30,000 SF office building. The broker sent a trailing-12 expense sheet and a rent roll. Now what?
Solsten walks you through every input — property details, expenses, tenants, market assumptions, financing — with tooltips explaining each field in plain English. No CRE degree required.
If you get stuck, Saga AI assistant (beta) can explain what each input affects and how changes flow through NOI, cash flow, and returns.
Guided workflow — 10-page input wizard ensures nothing is missed
Excel import — upload the broker's expense sheet directly
Instant reports — operating statement, KPIs, risk score in seconds
Free during beta — full access, no credit card
Typical Workflow
- 1. Create property → enter address, building size, purchase price
- 2. Upload expense Excel from broker
- 3. Enter rent roll (current tenants, rents, lease dates)
- 4. Set market assumptions (vacancy, TI, leasing commissions)
- 5. Add financing terms (loan amount, rate, amortization)
- 6. View Reports — NOI, DSCR, IRR, risk score
- 7. Share with your lender or equity partner

Tired of Paying $15,000/Seat for ARGUS?
ARGUS Enterprise is the industry standard — and it should be. But at $15,000+ per seat per year, it's hard to justify for every analyst, especially for preliminary deal screening and scenario analysis.
Solsten gives you ARGUS-grade proforma modeling — the same DCF methodology, the same recovery calculations, the same operating statement output — at a fraction of the cost. Use it alongside ARGUS for secondary analysis, or as a complete replacement for smaller deals.
ARGUS-compatible — same DCF methodology, recovery logic, and output format
Waterfall distributions — 4-tier GP/LP structures with catch-up and promote
Dual returns — going-forward and since-acquisition metrics with lease coverage gating
Exit scenarios — IRR, NPV, equity multiple for every exit year
