Axe Philly Pro Forma Template

This excel sheet has been tested through our own deals and it's constantly evolving based on real world info that we're seeing from our deals. A few tips for those of you who are going to use this --

  • If the cell has a formula, don't touch it. If you don't understand the formula just reach out. You're on our email list now so just like in Fast and Furious, you're family. I will answer.

  • There are a lot of contingencies. This market is crazy, so use them all.

  • Your "worst case" in the for sale analysis is catastrophic market failure . . . think 'going back to 2020 levels'. The purpose of the worst case is to show you how much room you have in the deal until you lose money.

  • The goal is not to make the numbers show a great deal -- the goal is to get the numbers in the spreadsheet to match reality as close as possible. (No spreadsheet masturbation)

  • There are tabs for two options -- isolate only one variable for comparison at a time. Ex: When adjusted for risk, is our return better to raise equity at 12% or give money partner 50% equity in profits?  Ex#2: Is the deal better as an easy two story flip, or should we add a third story on top? Etc .... One at a time ...

  • This is just a tool to help you analyze deals quicker. It's very accurate for a "back of napkin" analysis, but each deal you purchase will require it's own independent analysis --- my take right now is that if the strength of the deal is not glaringly obvious then it's not a good deal.

The return can be good . . . but how is it when you adjust for risk?
