When invoked with `/realestate commercial ` or called as a subagent, you deliver a comprehensive commercial real estate analysis for the given property. **DISCLAIMER: For educational/research purposes only. Not financial or investment advice. Always consult licensed real estate professionals.** --- ## Input Handling You will receive one of two types of input: 1. **Direct invocation** — User runs `/realestate commercial `. You must gather all data yourself via WebSearch and WebFetch. 2. **Subagent invocation** — The orchestrator passes you a `DISCOVERY_BRIEF` with pre-gathered data. Use it as a starting point and supplement as needed. In both cases, extract the full property ADDRESS and proceed with the analysis below. --- ## Property Type Detection Before analyzing, determine the commercial property type: | Type | Key Metrics | Typical Cap Rate Range | |------|-------------|----------------------| | **Office** | Price/SF, occupancy, lease terms, tenant quality, class (A/B/C) | 5.5%-9.0% | | **Retail** | Sales/SF, foot traffic, anchor tenants, lease type, co-tenancy clauses | 5.0%-8.5% | | **Industrial** | Clear height, loading docks, power, lease terms, proximity to logistics | 4.5%-7.5% | | **Mixed-Use** | Unit mix, retail/residential split, separate metering, zoning | 5.0%-8.0% | | **Multifamily (5+)** | Price/unit, price/SF, rent roll, unit mix, laundry/parking income | 4.0%-7.0% | --- ## Data Gathering Use WebSearch and WebFetch to research the property and commercial market.

Recent comparable sales (3-5 comps with price, SF, cap rate, price/SF) - Market rent per SF for this property type - Vacancy rate for the submarket - Absorption rate (net new leasing activity) - Market rent growth trend **Search 5 — Tenant Quality & Lease Analysis** Query: `" credit rating business revenue"` Gather (for each major tenant): -

Interest-only period options --- ## Financial Analysis ### Net Operating Income (NOI) Calculation ``` INCOME Gross Potential Rent (GPR): $[AMOUNT] Less: Vacancy & Credit Loss (-X%): -$[AMOUNT] Effective Gross Income (EGI): $[AMOUNT] Plus: Other Income: +$[AMOUNT] Total Effective Income: $[AMOUNT] OPERATING EXPENSES Property Taxes: $[AMOUNT] Insurance: $[AMOUNT] Utilities: $[AMOUNT] CAM / Maintenance: $[AMOUNT] Property Management: $[AMOUNT] Repairs & Maintenance: $[AMOUNT] Landscaping / Snow: $[AMOUNT] Janitorial: $[AMOUNT] Legal & Accounting: $[AMOUNT] Marketing & Leasing: $[AMOUNT] Reserves for Replacement: $[AMOUNT] Total Operating Expenses: $[AMOUNT] NET OPERATING INCOME (NOI): $[AMOUNT] ``` ### Key Ratios | Metric | Value | Market Comparison | |--------|-------|-------------------| | Cap Rate (NOI / Price) | [X]% | Market: [X]% | | Price per Square Foot | $[X] | Market: $[X] | | Price per Unit (multifamily) | $[X] | Market: $[X] | | Expense Ratio (OpEx / EGI) | [X]% | Typical: 35-50% | | Gross Rent Multiplier (Price / GPI) | [X]x | Market: [X]x | | Break-Even Occupancy | [X]% | Current: [X]% | ### Lease Analysis: NNN vs Gross | Lease Type | Landlord Pays | Tenant Pays | Risk Profile | |------------|--------------|-------------|--------------| | **Triple Net (NNN)** | Structure only | Taxes, insurance, CAM | Low landlord risk, predictable NOI | | **Modified Gross** | Some expenses | Base rent + some expenses | Moderate risk split | | **Full Service / Gross** | All operating expenses | Base rent only | Higher landlord risk, expense creep | Analyze the current lease structure and its impact on NOI stability. ### Debt Coverage Analysis ``` NOI: $[AMOUNT] Annual Debt Service: $[AMOUNT] Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR): [X]x Lender Minimum Requirement: 1.25x Status: [PASS/FAIL] Cash Flow After Debt Service: $[AMOUNT] Cash-on-Cash Return: [X]% ``` ### Replacement Cost Analysis ``` Land Value: $[AMOUNT] Construction Cost ($[X]/SF x [X] SF): $[AMOUNT] Soft Costs (15-20%): $[AMOUNT] Developer Profit (10-15%): $[AMOUNT] Total Replacement Cost: $[AMOUNT] Current Asking Price: $[AMOUNT] Discount to Replacement: [X]% ``` If buying below replacement cost, the property has a built-in margin of safety. --- ## Scoring Methodology ### Commercial Score (0-100) | Category | Weight | What It Measures | |----------|--------|------------------| | Income & NOI | 25% | NOI quality, rent roll stability, income growth potential | | Cap Rate & Value | 20% | Cap rate vs market, price/SF, discount to replacement cost | | Tenant Quality | 20% | Credit quality, lease terms, diversification, rollover risk | | Market & Location | 20% | Submarket fundamentals, vacancy trends, rent growth, absorption | | Financial Structure | 15% | DSCR, expense ratio, break-even occupancy, leverage capacity | **Scoring Guide:** | Score | Grade | Signal | |-------|-------|--------| | 85-100 | A+ | Institutional Quality — strong NOI, credit tenants, prime location | | 70-84 | A | Strong Asset — solid fundamentals with value-add upside | | 55-69 | B | Average — acceptable returns with identifiable risks | | 40-54 | C | Below Average — thin margins, tenant risk, or market weakness | | 25-39 | D | Distressed — significant issues requiring turnaround expertise | | 0-24 | F | Avoid — fundamentals do not support investment at current pricing | --- ## Risk Assessment Evaluate and present these commercial-specific risks: 1. **Tenant Concentration** — Is more than 30% of income from a single tenant? What happens if they leave? 2. **Lease Rollover** — When do leases expire? What is the re-leasing risk and cost? 3. **Expense Creep** — Are expenses growing faster than rents? Property tax reassessment risk? 4. **Deferred Maintenance** — Roof, HVAC, parking lot, elevators — what major CapEx is looming? 5. **Market Vacancy** — Is the submarket oversupplied? New construction pipeline? 6. **Interest Rate Sensitivity** — How do rising rates affect cap rates and property value? 7. **Environmental** — Phase I/II issues, asbestos, contamination, wetlands? 8. **Regulatory** — Zoning changes, rent control (multifamily), ADA compliance, building code updates? 9. **Obsolescence** — Is the property functionally obsolete? (office layout, ceiling height, technology infrastructure) 10. **Economic Sensitivity** — How recession-resistant is the tenant base and property type? --- ## Output Format Save the analysis as `PROPERTY-COMMERCIAL-[ADDRESS].md` in the current working directory.

Reconstruct from rent roll and market expenses. 2. **Pro forma vs actual** — Always distinguish between in-place NOI and pro forma (projected) NOI. 3. **Market cap rates** — Use local, property-type-specific cap rates, not national averages. 4. **Tenant due diligence** — Research tenant credit quality. A full building with weak tenants is not stable. 5. **Expense audit** — Compare reported expenses to market norms. Flag anomalies. 6. **Below-the-line items** — Exclude debt service, depreciation, and income tax from NOI. 7. **Conservative underwriting** — Use market vacancy (not zero), realistic rent growth, and adequate reserves. 8. **No emojis** — Use text-based ratings and signals only. ## Source & license This open-source skill is cataloged on AgentStack and links to its original source — we do not rehost the code. - **Author:** [zubair-trabzada](https://github.com/zubair-trabzada) - **Source:** [zubair-trabzada/ai-realestate-claude](https://github.com/zubair-trabzada/ai-realestate-claude) - **License:** MIT - **Homepage:** https://www.skool.com/aiworkshop Install and usage instructions live in the source repository linked above. ## Pricing - **Free** — Free ## Security capabilities Automated source analysis of v0.1.0 — what this tool can access: - **Network access:** no - **Filesystem access:** no - **Shell / process execution:** no - **Environment & secrets:** no - **Dynamic code execution:** no *"Yes" means the capability is present in the source — more access means more to trust, not that it is unsafe.* ## Versions - **0.1.0** — security scan: passed — Imported from the upstream source. ## Links - Listing page: https://agentstack.voostack.com/l/skill-zubair-trabzada-ai-realestate-claude-realestate-commercial - Seller: https://agentstack.voostack.com/s/zubair-trabzada - Browse the marketplace: https://agentstack.voostack.com/browse --- Listed on AgentStack — the marketplace for AI agent skills and MCP servers.
