Which of the following is a supporting tab for a multifamily model?

• A. Historical financials
• B. Rent roll
• C. Cap rate analysis
• D. Debt schedule

Answer: (A)

In a multifamily model, a supporting tab is data you reference to build and validate the forecast, not the calculations you run or the financing you arrange. Historical financials fit this role because they provide the past income and expense trajectory, occupancy, rent levels, and any unusual items that shape how you expect the property to perform going forward. By examining historicals, you anchor assumptions like rent growth, expense escalation, and vacancy patterns, and you can test the reasonableness of your pro forma against actual performance. The rent roll is primarily an operating input detailing current rents and unit mix used to construct the forecast, rather than a separate reference dataset. Cap rate analysis and the debt schedule are parts of the modeling calculations and financing structure, not the reference data you use to calibrate the forecast.
