Commercial Income Part 1 of 3

Rent Roll & Unit Group

Bowery’s Sales Comp Tool helps appraisers find smarter comps—faster and with less hassle. It’s appraisal, streamlined.

Accurately entering your in-place rent roll is a foundational step in any commercial income appraisal. With a clean, intuitive layout and dynamic inputs, Bowery’s platform makes this process fast, flexible, and ready for export.

Input the In-Place Rent

Start by navigating to the Income Approach section and selecting Commercial In-Place Rental. This kicks off the Commercial Income workflow.

Let’s say you’re working with a full office building, like Bowery HQ, containing six commercial units. The rent roll interface allows you to:

  • Mark units as inspected or vacant

  • Input tenant names and unit numbers

  • Add lease start and expiration dates

  • Enter rent as monthly, annual, or per-square-foot rates

As you enter this data, Bowery’s narrative components automatically update below—ensuring your appraisal narrative reflects the latest values. Vacant units will disable certain fields to avoid confusion during stabilization forecasting

Flexible Rent Entry Options

Whether your diligence comes in monthly rent, annual totals, or price per square foot, Bowery accommodates all formats. You can toggle between entry types, and the platform calculates the rest—rent per SF, monthly totals, and annual income—all in real time.

Create and Organize Unit Groups

After the rent roll is complete, it’s time to build your comp groups. Navigate to the Comp Groups page and name each group based on how you plan to analyze the income.

For example, you might create two groups: 'Large Office' and 'Small Office.' From there, simply drag and drop the relevant units into each group

Ready for Comparable Selection

With your unit groups defined, you’re now ready to add rent comps. The structure you’ve built helps drive clean, organized analysis as you move into the next phase of your appraisal.

Structured Inputs, Consistent Outputs

From unit-level input to grouped analysis, Bowery ensures that your commercial income data is captured clearly, calculated accurately, and carried seamlessly into the final report.

Smart structure up front means less time adjusting later—and more consistency across every appraisal.
