Below are a few frequently asked questions

1. Why run the TIL Score?

The TIL Score can assess both the Risk and Value Creation of a potential lease transaction. The benchmarks illustrate how much risk and where the risk lies whether it's in the tenant, industry or lease. In addition, (RE)meter's TIL Score illustrates how much value is created by each lease transaction as compared to average property/asset class cap rates. Our score calculates the spread between average property class cap rates and a risk adjusted cap rate of the proposed lease deal.

2. When do I run the TIL Score?

The TIL Score should be run on every lease transaction to understand your risk. This tool can be used on any size lease transaction (1,000-100,000+sf) for any type of tenant; private and public companies or government and not for profits.

3. Who should use the TIL Score?

Owners, Asset managers, Landlords, Landlord Reps and Risk Analysts of REITS, as well as Lenders and Commercial Real Estate Companies.

7. What does the TIL stand for?

Tenant, Industry and Lease—the Tenant Score is comprised of two sets of financial indexes that measure economic business performance and business risk. The indexes are comprised of 10 separate benchmarks on the tenant vs. their local industry competitors. The Industry Score is comprised of these 10 financial benchmarks used on the tenant's local industry vs. the tenant's industry nationally.
