Run Multifamily Due Diligence with 7 Agent Skills
A scenario-driven look at cre-due-diligence: 7 specialist agent skills for multifamily acquisitions, from rent roll to title review.
Where this fits
A developer at an acquisitions fund is wiring an agent to process underwriting packages. The user uploads a rent roll and a T-12 and asks: "Are these rents realistic?" Without domain guardrails, the agent produces plausible but ungrounded numbers. cre-due-diligence adds seven specialist skill definitions, each for a discrete part of multifamily due diligence, so the agent can route to the right workflow and return validation points instead of guesses.
Why agents benefit
- The suite includes 7 distinct skills — rent roll validation, OpEx benchmarking, market study, physical inspection, environmental review, title review, and tenant credit assessment. The agent can select the right skill based on the user's input, avoiding generic real-estate answers.
- Rent roll skill covers revenue validation, loss-to-lease analysis, tenant concentration risk, and anomaly detection — the repetitive checks that kill hours in manual underwriting.
- OpEx skill benchmarks T-12 expenses and flags trends, helping the agent compare an asset against market-appropriate operating ratios.
- Each skill is a self-contained markdown instruction, so it can be loaded into a subagent or a step in a multi-agent workflow without rewriting prompts.
- Domain authoring matters: the author is a J.D. focused on CRE legal diligence, and the skill set encodes that mental model rather than generic "analyze this document" instructions.
Practical scenarios
Rent roll validation before an LOI
A user pastes a rent roll for a 200-unit property. The agent detects loss-to-lease below 3% for a 1990 asset, flags tenant concentration around two corporate guarantors, and spots a unit with negative rent. Instead of accepting the brokerage summary, it routes to rent-roll-analyst and returns a short exception list.
OpEx benchmarking for an aged asset
A user gives a T-12 with rising repairs and maintenance. The agent calls the OpEx analyst skill, benchmarks expenses per unit, and flags utilities that are unusually high for the climate zone.
Inspection and environmental review packet
During a signing period, the agent receives inspection notes, a Phase I ESA, and a property condition report. It routes to the physical inspection and environmental review skills to extract material defects and remaining useful life items, then summarizes what the acquisition committee should approve.
Add it to your agent workflow
Install the skill with:
npx skills add ahacker-1/cre-agent-skills --skill cre-due-diligence
Then in your agent's tool descriptor, reference the skill file:
When a user uploads a rent roll and asks for revenue validation, load skills/rent-roll-analyst.md and run the full loss-to-lease and anomaly analysis. Do not summarize the rent roll before applying that skill.
This keeps the agent's behavior deterministic: the skill file is the source of truth, and your orchestration layer decides when to invoke it.
Compare before adopting
Before wiring it in, compare against your existing workflow:
- Quality signals: review the GitHub repo for example output, test reports, and issue responsiveness. The README excerpt is only the entry point.
- Maintenance freshness: check recent commits and whether the author updates the skills for market-ratio changes or new inspection standards.
- Alternatives: generic CRE plugins or your own GPT instructions can cover some skills, but not the full seven-part due-diligence taxonomy.
- Workflow fit: if your agent already integrates with title and environmental APIs, you may use only the rent roll and OpEx skills rather than the entire suite.
Why it is worth tracking
With 92 stars, Apache-2.0 licensing, and an author who publishes under a named organization, this is a credible early-stage skill package. It is worth tracking if you build agents for multifamily acquisitions, because it condenses a professional due-diligence workflow into reusable instructions. You can follow the skill's update history on its OpenAgentSkill page. Re-evaluate when it adds market-benchmark datasets or integrates with common CRE data providers.
