For managers rolling up automotive repair and maintenance shops
Build the fund around technician retention and the terms LPs will check.
Fund Launch AI helps you document technician retention, bay utilization tracking, parts margin review, and local reputation diligence, then prepares fund terms, a Scroll Deck, waterfall economics, and LPA, PPM, and subscription inputs from one working record. One click sends the package to an in-platform partner law firm that already knows the document set.
Convert your buy box into written acquisition criteria LPs can hold you to
Model pooled-portfolio economics instead of forty separate house spreadsheets
Walk into attorney review with a drafted package, not a blank template

The strategy has its own rules
The fund has to make technician retention explicit
This strategy needs written rules for technician retention, bay utilization tracking, parts margin review, and local reputation diligence. LPs will ask what qualifies, how decisions are approved, what happens when assumptions miss, and what reporting shows after capital is deployed. The documents need to make the manager's discipline visible before the first diligence call. Fund Launch AI turns that discipline into fund terms, model assumptions, risk language, and draft legal inputs that all say the same thing.
High-volume deal flow
Continuous acquisitions demand a defined buy box and pacing plan — not a single business plan.
House-level capital stack
DSCR and portfolio debt mean leverage policy must spell out aggregation, cross-collateralization, and refinance behavior.
Operations are the risk
PM quality, turn costs, and maintenance across scattered assets drive returns more than any single purchase.
What LPs actually probe
Expense assumptions, manager bandwidth, and whether you can deploy at volume without diluting standards.
Where terms get sensitive
Acquisition fees on high deal counts, distribution timing against lumpy refinances, and sale proceeds mid-fund.
Discipline as contract
A qualifying asset defined precisely enough that your buy box is contractual, not aspirational.
A generic real estate template captures none of that.
Where fund materials usually drift
A deck, a model, and legal inputs built from different memories
The usual path starts with a category deck, a single-deal model, and legal inputs assembled later. That leaves the manager explaining important choices from memory: technician retention, bay utilization tracking, parts margin review, and local reputation diligence. LPs notice when the deck, model, and draft terms use different assumptions. The partner law firm also has to spend time reconstructing choices that should have been written down before review began.
The “buy box” lives in your head, so the documents can't enforce the discipline you actually have
Per-house ROI spreadsheets don't aggregate into fund-level economics an LP can evaluate
A syndication-style waterfall gets pasted onto a strategy with continuous acquisitions and rolling refis
Acquisition and management fee stacking across dozens of homes is never modeled — LPs find it first
Nothing explains what happens to refi proceeds: recycle, distribute, or reserve
Your attorney receives a Zillow-flavored strategy summary and bills hours turning it into structure
The build
Describe the strategy once, then keep every output tied to it
Fund Launch AI starts with the way you already describe the strategy. You explain the market, the opportunity set, the terms you are considering, and the parts that still need work. The platform turns that description into structured data, asks for the missing pieces at the right time, and keeps the deck, model, and legal inputs tied to the same record.
01
Describe the portfolio machine
Markets, buy box, price band, rehab scope, management model, target door count, hold and exit logic — in your own words. An existing portfolio becomes track-record context and the template for qualifying assets.
02
Structure the fund around volume
Fund Builder converts your system into 150+ structured fields: acquisition criteria, pacing, leverage and refinance policy, fee architecture, reserves, and distribution mechanics — scored against 390+ fund launches.
03
Generate aligned outputs
A Scroll Deck that narrates the machine, a pooled waterfall modeled from your actual terms, and drafted LPA, PPM, and sub doc inputs — with benchmarking flags on the terms most likely to draw LP pushback.
04
Review with qualified counsel
Send the aligned package to a Fund Launch preferred law firm in one click, or hand it to your own attorney. Professional review starts from drafted work that already knows what a qualifying asset is — not a blank page.
The package
A fund package built around the strategy's real mechanics
The package answers four questions: what qualifies, what gets rejected, how economics are measured, and how risk is reported. Fund Launch AI drafts each artifact from the same working record, so a change to a term or assumption does not create a contradiction somewhere else.
Strategy narrative: markets, buy box, and the repeatable system behind them
Scroll Deck built around portfolio logic, not a single-deal pro forma
Fund structure and terms tuned for continuous, high-count acquisitions
Pooled waterfall and fund economics with refinance and recycling mechanics
Legal Canvas drafting inputs: LPA, PPM, subscription documents, qualifying-asset definitions
Risk-factor drafting inputs specific to scattered-site SFR operations
Capital deployment and pacing plan LPs can hold you to
Attorney-review package with your full decision record
What the platform can handle
Inputs this fund build can work through with you
You do not need every answer before you start. Fund Builder uses these inputs to help you think through the strategy, test the terms, and turn the parts you do know into a working fund build.

The diligence conversation
The questions your materials should answer cleanly
LP questions should not force you to rebuild the strategy in real time. They should point back to fields already captured in the fund build.
01
Why should I invest in your fund instead of buying rentals myself?
02
What stops you from stretching the buy box when deal flow gets thin?
03
Your expense assumptions — turns, maintenance, insurance — look tight. What's the evidence?
04
Who manages 150 scattered doors, and what happens when your PM underperforms?
05
When refinances return capital, does it come back to me or get recycled — and who decides?
06
How do acquisition fees work when you're buying forty houses a year?
07
What's the exit: portfolio sale to an aggregator, retail one-offs, or indefinite hold?
08
What happened on your worst deal, and what changed because of it?
Each question maps to a structured input in Fund Builder. The answer can then appear consistently in the Scroll Deck, waterfall, legal drafting inputs, and partner-firm handoff package.
Term sensitivity
Terms that need to reflect how this strategy actually works
01
Acquisition criteria / qualifying asset definition
With continuous deal flow, the written buy box is the LP's only protection against drift. Too loose and it's meaningless; too tight and you can't deploy. This is the term SFR LPs read first.
02
Acquisition fees
A per-deal fee that's reasonable on one house becomes a headline number across forty. The fee architecture has to be modeled at full pacing, not per transaction.
03
Reinvestment / recycling provisions
BRRRR-adjacent economics live or die on whether refi proceeds can redeploy. Silence here creates a fight later; clarity here is a selling point.
04
Distribution policy and timing
SFR cash flow is steady but refinance events are lumpy. LPs need to know what's distributed monthly or quarterly versus held for redeployment.
05
Leverage limits and refinance authority
Portfolio debt, cross-collateralization, and rate exposure across many small loans need explicit boundaries — this is where downside scenarios concentrate.
06
Management fee basis
Fee on committed versus deployed capital changes your incentive to pace acquisitions honestly, and LPs in high-velocity strategies check.
07
Reserve policy
Scattered-site portfolios eat capital in turns, roofs, and HVAC. A stated per-door and fund-level reserve converts the biggest operational fear into a documented plan.
08
Key person provisions
Most SFR funds are one operator's system. LPs will ask what happens to their capital if that operator is gone — the documents should answer before they ask.
