Overview
A national Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) managing a large, diversified portfolio faced a familiar problem: information was abundant, but insight took too long. Every acquisition, disposition, and capital allocation decision depended on teams parsing dense Offering Memorandums (OMs), underwriting models, rent rolls, and submarket research. Analysts spent more time extracting data from PDFs than generating conviction for investment committees.
Using StackAI’s agentic platform, the REIT deployed three AI workflows that transformed how documents became decisions. Prior to StackAI, analysts spent 10–20 hours per deal extracting key details from OMs, attachments, and rent rolls before assembling committee materials. With StackAI orchestrating OM summarization, data extraction, and memo generation through secure AI agents, the REIT achieved a 60 percent reduction in manual review time, 3–5 day acceleration in investment committee preparation, and more consistent memo outputs across analysts, allowing the team to evaluate more deals without adding headcount.
The Problem: Labor-Intensive and Inconsistent Operating Memorandum Creation
Once a deal advanced past initial underwriting, internal operating memorandums (OMs) were created for various stakeholders, including operations, asset management, and external partners. Preparing these OMs required analysts to pull data from rent rolls, trailing financials, market comps, and underwriting models, and then assemble narrative explanations and formatted tables. Because each analyst relied on their own annotations, spreadsheet exports, and formatting preferences, final OMs varied significantly in style and depth. Producing a complete OM could take several days, created avoidable formatting rework, and frequently diverted analysts from analytical tasks to document production.
The Solution: Standardized, Data-Driven OM Generation
With StackAI, the REIT implemented an OM Generator Agent that automates document assembly. Analysts provide structured deal inputs—such as rent rolls, T-12 financials, capex schedules, and market notes—and StackAI orchestrates LLM-based components that generate a polished, template-aligned OM. The agent automatically formats tables, embeds financial highlights, and drafts narrative sections that describe the asset, location, market dynamics, and underwriting drivers. Analysts review and adjust the narrative rather than building the document from scratch, reducing cycle times and improving consistency across stakeholders and asset types. This also enabled the REIT to maintain a standardized document library for acquisitions, dispositions, and investor reporting.
The Problem: Delayed and Error-Prone Investment Committee Preparation
Investment Committee (IC) memos represent the final synthesis of a potential acquisition and must include a coherent view of asset fundamentals, financial performance, submarket context, risk factors, sensitivities, and recommendation rationale. Historically, assembling these memos required analysts to combine OM summaries, underwriting outputs, market research, and internal commentary into a single document. This process often took multiple days, generated inconsistent memo structures across analysts, and required numerous review cycles with senior leadership. In fast-moving environments, these delays could cause the REIT to miss competitive windows or reduce optionality in bidding processes.
The Solution: Standardized, Data-Driven OM Generation
Using StackAI, the REIT built an Acquisition Analysis Memo Agent that consolidates deal materials into committee-ready memos through a secure, auditable pipeline. Analysts supply inputs such as OM summaries, underwriting models, market data, and qualitative notes, and the agent generates a structured committee memo aligned to the REIT’s internal format. Sections include property overview, market fundamentals, financial highlights, sensitivity analyses, risk and mitigation factors, and a preliminary recommendation. All outputs are reviewable and editable by analysts, ensuring controlled human oversight. This approach reduced memo preparation time from days to hours, improved consistency across submissions, and enabled IC members to compare opportunities more efficiently.
Conclusion
For this REIT, the bottleneck in acquisitions was never a lack of opportunity, capital, or analytical talent. but the volume of unstructured information that sat between deals and decisions. By using StackAI to orchestrate AI agents for OM summarization, document generation, and committee memo preparation, the organization shifted its analysts away from manual document handling and toward higher-value underwriting and thesis development. The result was a measurable reduction in review times, a more consistent decision pipeline, and greater capacity to evaluate opportunities during competitive market cycles. In an environment where speed, rigor, and conviction directly influence outcomes, StackAI provided the REIT with an operational advantage grounded not in automation for its own sake, but in faster access to the information required to make better investment decisions.
