Introduction

Accessing Lev Memo

Memo is always opened from a deal on the Lev platform.

  2. Upload documents and complete basic and financial information as prompted.

Available types evolve over time. If you need another product type, tell your Lev team what you want to generate next.

Upload and generate outline. Files already on the deal are pulled in automatically; add anything missing here. Click Generate Memo to build the outline (often on the order of a couple of minutes).

Stronger inputs

Better uploads yield better Memos. Especially helpful: sources & uses, underwriting model, T-12 / rent roll / budget, photos and plans, and market studies.

Edit the outline. Review section titles and bullets, add or remove sections, then Build Memo to generate the full deck (often 5–10 minutes). Edits here—especially narrative sections like investment highlights—heavily steer what ships.

Outline drives the deck

Bullets in the outline guide each slide. Time spent here saves rework in the editor.

Review in the editor. When generation finishes, refine slides: text, order, images, tables, and branding (Theme Settings). Use Preview to click through like a presentation.
