Case Study:
Respark
Inside the tech-forward acquisitions process Respark Residential used to evaluate a complex, multi-submarket portfolio and close on a $455M deal with co-GP partner LaTerra Capital.
Can evaluate properties deeper and faster - with much of the data entry accelerated.
Now it takes minutes to parse & map in their Custom Chart of Accounts.
Building robust proprietary rent, expense, and sales comps, they can more accurately evaluate potential investments
Respark Residential is a multifamily investor and capital partner with active deal flow across the Southeast, Texas, Chicago, Phoenix, the Bay Area, Southern California, and Seattle.
"Buying a seven-property portfolio across five submarkets is a different challenge — the complexity of seven deals on one timeline. Archer let us cut hours of data entry on every property and put that time back into underwriting analysis." - Justin Campbell
In late 2025, Respark went under contract with LaTerra Capital on a seven-property, 1,495-unit Chicago suburban portfolio, a $455M acquisition from Aimco's portfolio liquidation.
The portfolio's complexity demanded sophisticated analytical work: seven assets, five distinct submarkets, and two pairs of properties sharing operating expenses, all moving on a single deadline while the broader pipeline kept advancing.
Document parsing, T12 coding, rent roll cleanup, and comps handled directly inside the team's existing Excel workflow. No tool migration required.
Custom Chart of Accounts mapped to Respark's internal financial structure.
Analyst hours redirected from data prep to actual analysis. What used to be hours of cleanup is now minutes, freeing the team to spend their time on the work that actually moves deals forward: scenario modeling, outlier identification, and pressure-testing budgets and assumptions.
Sustained underwriting velocity through a complex acquisition process. The full pipeline kept moving while the seven-property Chicago transaction worked through diligence and close.
