What we ship for CRE

Automate the steps. Protect the thoughts.

Pulling comps for a new deal is a step. Deciding whether to pursue it is a thought. Tracking 200 lease escalations is a step. Negotiating the renewal is a thought. We automate the steps. We protect the thoughts. Four core products. Defined, deployed, and tuned by senior operators.

01 / 04 — Lease Administration

AI Lease Administration · Workflows

Every lease, every clause, indexed and watched.

We abstract every lease in your portfolio — including the amendments — and run a continuous watch against your calendar. Critical dates, COI lapses, rent escalations, renewal options. The work that takes a lease admin a full week now runs in the background.

  • Renewal Window Tracker — every option, escalation, and notice deadline surfaced 90 days out.
  • Estoppel Drafter — first-pass estoppels generated from the lease, cross-referenced to payment history.
  • CPI Adjustment Calculator — the right index, base year, and rounding rules across every escalation.

02 / 04 — Tenant Operations

AI Property Coordinator · Support Agents

Tenant-facing capacity that scales without seats.

Inbound tenant inquiries handled around the clock — email, SMS, portal — without adding headcount. Maintenance requests routed with full context: vendor, unit, lease status, history. The agent escalates what needs a human and resolves everything else inside the rules you set.

  • Maintenance Triage — categorizes inbound, attaches lease context, routes to the right vendor.
  • After-Hours Concierge — handles tenant inquiries off-hours, escalates emergencies, logs everything to the PMS.
  • Vendor SLA Tracker — follows up on open work orders, surfaces stuck tickets, flags vendors falling behind.

03 / 04 — Portfolio Intelligence

AI Chief of Staff · For Principals

An intelligence layer that runs on your cadence.

An AI layer reading across Yardi, your PM platform, accounting, and broker email threads. Daily briefs for what hits this week. Monthly roll-ups for what shipped, shifted, and is incoming. Not a dashboard — a brief that lands in your inbox, written the way a chief of staff would write it for you.

  • Daily Pulse — the three to five calls that need your read this week, with context attached.
  • Monthly Roll-up — what closed, what shifted, what's incoming — across the portfolio.
  • Market Beat — submarket shifts, comp transactions, news touching your portfolio.

04 / 04 — Deal Flow

AI Deal Desk · Workflows

First-pass underwriting in hours, not days.

Drop in the OM, the rent roll, the broker package — and the same day you have a sourced first-pass memo with comp analysis, debt coverage flags, and competitive context. Not a replacement for your senior underwriter. A brief that gets the deal to the point where their judgment starts mattering.

  • First-Pass UW Memo — drafted with rent comps, debt coverage, and competitive context sourced.
  • Comp Set Matcher — pulls comparable lease and sale comps from CoStar, Compstak, Reonomy.
  • OM Thesis Screener — validates investment theses against in-place actuals before deep underwriting.

AI Operating Partner

Powered by AI · Operated by humans

Senior AI leadership, embedded with your shop.

The stack moves fast. The workflows that run your portfolio today look different in six months — some steps disappear, others emerge, better tools land mid-quarter. Owner-operators shouldn't be scrambling to keep up.

The product is people, not software. Senior operators in the room with your principals, accountable to the same outcomes you are. They decide what gets automated and what stays human — what's a step and what's a thought.

They build as little as possible, keep tuning and swapping as the stack shifts, and bring you cheaper or better replacements when they land. You never have to start over.

Most CRE engagements start here. The Operating Partner embeds with your team. A dedicated delivery cell ships the systems underneath.

Chief of Staff in your inbox.
Daily brief tuned to what you care about. First workflows scoped, first agents in test.
Month 6

Throughput up. Stack underneath swapped twice. New tools brought in as they land. Nothing started over.

How we engage

Engage. Build. Run.

Three phases. Same team across all three. From scoping the work to running the systems.

01 — Engage

Get clear on what to build.

First we get clear on where AI fits in your operation — and where it doesn't. We sit with your team, map your stack, and find where AI moves the number. The output is a roadmap you could hand to anyone, including a team that isn't us. Most engagements start here, even when the build is already obvious.

02 — Build

Ship working systems.

Lease abstraction, deal desk, tenant routing, the portfolio brief — built into Yardi, MRI, AppFolio, and the rest of your stack. We scope tight, build only what works, and ship. Slides only when they help us think — never as the deliverable.

03 — Run

Keep it sharp.

Live systems age. Models improve. Better tools land. We tune what's live, swap what's worth swapping, and rebuild what ages out. Your stack stays sharp — without you staffing the team to keep it that way.

Why Vector 48

Operators, not consultants. We ship what we recommend.

There's no shortage of platforms that want to be your next system. There's no shortage of consultancies that'll write you a deck. What's been missing is operators who can do both — and stand behind it.

01

We deploy in your existing stack.

Yardi, MRI, AppFolio, VTS, Argus, CoStar, Salesforce. Your team gets better answers in the tools they already use. No new portal. No migration. The systems running your business stay running.

02

We operate the agents continuously.

This isn't a software install or a one-time consulting deliverable. We build the systems, run them with you, and keep them sharp as the AI stack moves. The same operators who ship the work stay accountable for it.

03

Built for owner-operators.

Not institutional shops. Not generic CRE workflows. We built this stack around how owner-operators actually run — small enough teams that headcount matters, sophisticated enough portfolios that AI moves the number.

Common questions

Before you book the call.

Straight answers, even when they're ranges.

No. We build across what you already have. If our assessment reveals a tool that's redundant or underperforming, we'll let you know — but we don't have an agenda toward any particular system. Yardi stays Yardi unless there's a clear reason it shouldn't.
That's the core of what we do. We connect to each system and create an AI layer that reasons across all your data together — enriched with external information like market comps, regulatory changes, and competitive dynamics. Your team doesn't see the plumbing. They see better answers showing up proactively in the tools they already use.
Your data stays siloed to your environment. We do not train shared models on client data, ever. Full NDA is standard. We can operate in your infrastructure or ours. Your call.
Most ongoing engagements run in the $5–12K per month range, depending on the number of systems and the roles the AI layer covers. The Engage phase is fixed-fee and scoped on the discovery call. Build cost depends on what comes out of Engage. We'll give you real numbers — not a brochure range — on the call.
A platform gives you a tool and lets you figure out how to use it. We assess your operation, figure out where the workflows themselves need to change, build the AI layer across your existing systems, and keep improving it every month. We're not selling software. We're operators who ship the systems and stay accountable for them.
Every agent operates inside guardrails you set. Confidence thresholds, escalation rules, audit logs. Anything below threshold escalates to a human with full context attached. We review errors weekly and tune the system around them. The goal isn't perfection — it's that mistakes get caught and corrected faster than a human team would catch them.
That's exactly what the Run phase is for. We're constantly evaluating new capabilities, testing them on your behalf, and bringing improvements every month. When something better or cheaper lands, we bring it in. You never have to start over.

A read on where AI moves the number for your portfolio.

Book a 30-minute discovery call. We'll walk through your current operation and give you an honest read on what AI can change for you — which workflows collapse, which tools earn their seat, and where you might be leaving value on the table. No deck, no sales pitch.
