Increase Efficiency with One Connected Solution for Debt as a Borrower and as an Investment 

Managing real estate debt using spreadsheets? As portfolios grow and financing structures become more complex, this approach leaves room for errors and compliance risks. 

This article explores how Yardi Debt Manager eliminates spreadsheets and serves as a single source of truth, delivering strategic advantages whether you’re overseeing debt as a borrower or have investments in debt. 

With over 25,000 loans managed and hundreds of clients currently using the platform¹, Yardi Debt Manager is a proven solution for organizations looking to modernize their debt workflows and reduce risk. 

Get Complete Visibility 

Real-time insight into loan performance helps you manage risk, ensure compliance, and drive portfolio returns. Without a centralized system, even routine tasks, such as monitoring term changes, tracking collateral, or reviewing payment activity, can become time- and resource-consuming. 

Yardi Debt Manager, a connected debt management solution made for real estate professionals, consolidates all loan data in one platform, providing lenders and borrowers with a full view of their debt portfolio, including real-time updates to loan terms and collateral. This centralized oversight simplifies operations and proactively addresses risks. 

As a borrower, you can connect all loans across the portfolio with the real estate assets managed in Yardi Voyager. This way, you get a clear overview of your debt obligations along with the underlying operating assets in one solution, eliminating manual spreadsheets and disconnected systems.

Ensure Compliance and Reduce Risk 

As portfolios grow in size and complexity, keeping up with debt covenants and lender requirements becomes increasingly difficult for borrowers, and missing a deadline or breaching a covenant can have serious financial and reputational consequences. For real estate teams managing multiple loans, relying on manual tracking is unsustainable and introduces unnecessary risks. 

Debt Manager mitigates these risks by automating covenant monitoring. You can set reminders, track covenant status in real time, and manage critical dates across all loans. This structured approach enables you to identify potential issues early and stay ahead of lender expectations. 

Automate Loan Payments 

Missing or delaying loan repayments can damage your relationship with the lender and jeopardize long-term investment performance.  

Debt Manager automates payments to lenders, helping borrowers avoid missed deadlines without manual intervention. It also offers complete visibility into payment history with an audit trail, ensuring transparency, accountability, and streamlined financial reporting. 

Debt Manager dramatically streamlined our mortgage payment workflows. Invoices from accounts payable are routed straight to the capital markets department for verification and approval. Everybody is always looking at the same information rather than tracking different spreadsheets.

Generate Advanced Reports 

Producing timely, accurate reports is often a resource-intensive process, but it’s essential for maintaining transparency with internal stakeholders and enabling data-driven decisions for both lenders and borrowers.  

For those with debt funds or investments in debt, Yardi Debt Manager is fully integrated with Investment Accounting and provides accurate reporting across all ownership structures.  

You can generate ad hoc reports based on any loan or collateral field in their Yardi Voyager portfolio, customize borrower statements, and review transaction history for particular investors and loan combinations. The platform reduces manual effort and improves reporting accuracy. 

Automate Debt Accounting 

Debt management tools also automate complex accounting that is otherwise time-consuming, error-prone, and difficult to scale. 

For debt investments, Yardi Debt Manager’s integration with Investment Accounting and Payment Processing simplifies the management of complex loan terms and of numerous entities and levels between investors, investments and assets. This connectivity allows you to track ownership and cash flow from investments in debt through complex ownership structures, while also automating billing to borrowers.  

Debt Manager’s integration with Yardi Investment Accounting means we can provide a full-service CRE debt management offering with full visibility for complex ownership structures.
