REIF Metrics

REIF provides over 75 Financial Metrics to evaluate your real project and synthesizes those Financial Metrics into a single, all-encompassing data point – Project Score and Project Grade. Each Financial Metric is detailed below.


From these Financial Metrics and additional data inputs, we generate a variety of reports. You can download samples of each report here. If you would like a custom report or metrics built to your specifications, please email us at info@buildreif.com.


  • REIF creates a 1-5 score for each Financial Metric based on the targets you set ("Neutral" and "1 Point"; see Visualize and Score Data Through Target Metrics and Conditional Formatting)

  • You can choose up to 15 Key Financial Metrics and up to 5 Key Years

  • You then weight each of those Financial Metrics and Key Years you selected to generate the Project Score and subsequent Project Grade

  • Project Score and Project Grade = single, all-encompassing data point based on your investor preferences to make your investment decisions efficiently and holistically

    • Fast, comprehensive real estate investment analysis to make a sound investment decision in 15-minutes

  • The Project Score and Project Grade can be viewed throughout the model at the top of each worksheet so you can see how changes in Inputs change the Project Score and Project Grade

  • There is also a separate Project Score and Project Grade report where you can see the details behind the calculation

  • Additionally, at the top of most worksheets you can see your Project Grade so as you change your assumptions and inputs you can see how those changes will impact your Project Score and Project Grade
