Find out what is actually slowing down your deal pipeline.

A fixed-price audit of one high-value workflow (deal intake, underwriting handoffs, follow-up, document flow, or pipeline reporting), or your whole deal-to-close operation, wherever your team loses the most time or clarity.

Underwriting speed is the constraint most multifamily operators notice first, but it is rarely the whole problem. Software addresses the modelling half. Plenty of operators run a tool they trust and still lose days to the pipeline around it: deals arriving by email with no intake step, underwriting handoffs that stall on one person, documents living in three places at once, and no shared record of what has already been checked. Those losses do not show up inside a model, because they happen between the steps rather than within them. This audit maps where the time actually goes across deal intake, underwriting handoffs, follow-up, document flow, and pipeline reporting, then returns a written and prioritized plan naming the weakest points and what to do about them. Scope is fixed before the work begins, and implementation is optional and separately scoped.

Not sure yet? Take the free Multifamily Deal Workflow Scorecard: it scores seven parts of your workflow and recommends the right starting point.

Del Val’s Multifamily Deal Flow & Operations Audit is the real estate application of our standard business operations audit. Audit Lite maps one workflow: deal intake, underwriting handoffs, follow-up, document flow, or pipeline reporting. A Full Audit reviews your whole deal-to-close operation. Both end in a written, prioritized plan; implementation is optional and separately scoped.

This is the real estate application of our standard Business Operations Audit: same fixed prices, same process, scoped to how deals move through your pipeline. See how we work with the wider Real Estate industry.

What you get

  • A current-state map of the workflow (or workflows) in scope: how deals actually move through intake, underwriting, follow-up, and pipeline reporting, not how the org chart says they should.
  • A written list of findings: bottlenecks, rework, risks, and decision delays, and why they happen.
  • An assumption-based time, cost, or revenue-impact range, where the available information is sufficient to calculate one responsibly.
  • A prioritized plan you can run with your own team, or hand to us to build.
  • A credit: the audit fee applies toward a Del Val implementation, if you move forward.

About the impact range: assumptions are always labeled, an estimate is never a guarantee, and there is no standard ROI percentage. If the available information is not sufficient to calculate a responsible range, the findings say so plainly instead of inventing a number.

Example: illustrative only

What the audit document actually looks like.

This is a mock built to show the shape of a real deliverable. It is not an actual client audit, and nothing in it reflects a real engagement.

Example

Audit Lite: findings & roadmap

Prepared for: Example Multifamily Partners

Sample workflow: broker OM intake to underwriting handoff

1. Current-state map

A broker OM arrives by email, gets re-keyed into a spreadsheet by hand, and is handed off to underwriting with no shared record of what has already been checked.

2. Findings

  • No single source of truth for which deals are still active.
  • Underwriting assumptions live in three different spreadsheet versions.
  • Nobody owns the handoff between screening and underwriting.

3. Prioritized roadmap

  1. Assign a single deal-flow owner and one intake queue.
  2. Automate document parsing so intake stops waiting on manual re-keying.
  3. Merge the underwriting spreadsheets into one system of record.

Example only. Every real audit is built from your own data. Nothing above reflects an actual client engagement.

How we handle initial information

  • The initial request form should contain business context only: your role, team, the workflow that hurts, and what it costs you.
  • Do not submit passwords, credentials, sensitive personal information, or confidential deal documents through the public form.
  • Representative examples and any required access are determined together during scoping, not up front.
  • The audit requires no production-system changes.
  • Data and access requirements are agreed before substantive work begins.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the multifamily deal flow and operations audit cost?
Audit Lite is $1,000, fixed scope, for one workflow. Full Audit is $3,500, fixed scope, for your whole deal-to-close operation. Both are quoted before any work starts, with no hourly surprises.
What is the difference between Audit Lite and Full Audit for a multifamily operator?
Audit Lite maps one workflow end to end: deal intake, underwriting handoffs, follow-up, document flow, or pipeline reporting, whichever costs you the most time or clarity. Full Audit reviews your whole deal-to-close operation. Start with Audit Lite if you already know which workflow hurts most; choose Full Audit if you want the whole picture.
How do I know whether I need the audit or MFDA Pro?
If the pain is underwriting and analysis itself (parsing broker documents, running scenarios, organizing deal data), start with MFDA Pro, and our complete guide to multifamily underwriting walks through the framework behind it. If the pain is the workflow around the deals (follow-up, handoffs, visibility, owner dependence), the audit is the right fit.
Does the audit fee credit toward anything else?
Yes. The audit fee credits toward a Del Val implementation if you decide to move forward with one.
Does the audit guarantee financial results?
No. Nobody can honestly guarantee a financial outcome from an operational audit, and we don't try. You get a current-state map, findings, and (where the information supports it) a labeled estimate range, never a promise. What it's worth to you depends on execution afterward.
Will Del Val change our production systems during the audit?
No. The audit makes no production-system changes. It observes, documents, and recommends. Any implementation work is a separate, separately scoped decision that you control.
Do we need to replace our spreadsheets or existing tools?
No. The audit is vendor-neutral. If a spreadsheet or tool is working, it stays. Recommendations start with process, then consider automation, dashboards, AI, integration, or software only where the change is justified.
Can Del Val work with operators outside Florida?
Yes. Florida first, serving multifamily operators nationwide through remote delivery. Discovery, interviews, workflow mapping, and the findings review all work well remotely.
Does the audit provide investment, legal, tax, accounting, or lending advice?
No. The audit addresses operational workflow only. It does not provide investment, legal, tax, accounting, securities, or lending advice, and it does not evaluate whether any specific deal is a good investment.

One workflow, or the whole operation. Your decision.
