I posted about retyping multifamily OMs into Excel — a bunch of people said they deal with this too. I’m going to test a few real OMs.

If anyone has a **publicly available multifamily OM** they want converted, I’ll run a few through my PDF-to-Excel workflow and share what the output looks like.

Not looking for confidential files. Public OMs only. **Please DM me either the OM, or where I can download it from (Crexi) and I will send along a curated excel.**

Some of the pain points I've heard..

The annoying part is not underwriting the deal. It is getting the OM back into a format where you can even start underwriting it.

Half the battle is just figuring out whether the broker’s headline numbers actually tie to the tables buried in the PDF.

The most frustrating deals are the ones where the OM looks beautiful but the actual data is scattered across 20 pages.

Everyone talks about AI replacing underwriting, but the immediate problem is much dumber: getting rent roll and T-12 data out of a PDF without retyping it.

A lot of OMs feel like they were designed to market the deal, not to help someone actually analyze it.

The first pass on a deal should be about judgment, not transcription.

I don’t need AI to tell me whether to buy the building. I need it to stop making me copy 46 unit rents by hand.

The value is not just extraction. It is catching when the broker’s NOI, cap rate, or rent totals do not actually tie.
