Make the first model useful, not perfect
The first underwriting pass should answer one question: does this property deserve more time? Start with rent, vacancy, taxes, insurance, management, maintenance, utilities, debt service, and expected repairs.
Do not hide weak assumptions inside a polished spreadsheet. Mark every number as verified, estimated, or unknown so the next action is obvious.
