AI Automation for CRE Lenders
CRE debt lenders are using AI to source 40–50 qualified deals per morning, automate covenant tracking, and monitor DSCR in real time — without adding headcount.
The Problem
- Manual deal sourcing that limits pipeline to 8–12 deals/day
- Quarterly covenant monitoring that misses changes between reviews
- DSCR calculations that rely on outdated financial statements
- Analysts spending 2+ hours daily on deal screening instead of credit analysis
How Starter Stack AI Solves It
We deploy Document Intelligence and 24/7 Risk Monitoring configured specifically for Commercial Real Estate workflows.

Who This Is Not For
- Equity-focused CRE firms without debt portfolios

Frequently Asked Questions
How does AI help CRE lenders with deal sourcing?
Our AI scans multiple deal sources overnight and delivers 40–50 pre-qualified deals to underwriting each morning, with DSCR and property-level metrics pre-calculated. One CRE debt lender went from 8–12 manual deals/day to 40–50 automated qualified deals, saving 2+ analyst hours daily.
Can AI automate covenant monitoring for CRE loans?
Yes. Our 24/7 Risk Monitoring platform tracks CRE-specific metrics continuously — DSCR changes, occupancy shifts, rate exposure, and borrower financial health. Instead of quarterly manual reviews, you get daily alerts when covenants are at risk of breach, with a 14-day predictive lead time.
What is the best AI solution for CRE lending operations?
Starter Stack AI combines Document Intelligence for deal intake and underwriting automation with 24/7 Risk Monitoring for continuous portfolio surveillance. Unlike generic document AI tools, our platform understands CRE-specific documents (appraisals, rent rolls, environmental reports) and CRE-specific risk metrics (DSCR, LTV, occupancy).
