REIF How To: Table of Contents

Below is an alphabetical list of all "REIF How To" blog posts with a short description.


If you're still having trouble working with the model, have a specific model question, or are interested in an onboarding session, please email us at info@buildreif.com and we will respond with detailed instructions.


  • Color Coded - Tabs and Cells: REIF model color codes the tabs and cells to easily identify what each does when you a see a certain color or formatting and this link breaks down what each color means.

  • Customize Formula Data: Data inputs generate linearish formula values, which are fully customizable as needed... or if you're good with the linearish formula values then you don't need to do anything and those formula values will flow right to the "Financial Reports".
