The Future of AI-Powered Underwriting ft. Perry Zheng

On this week’s episode of the Best Ever AI Show, Joe Fairless interviews Perry Zheng. Perry, founder and CEO of Cash Flow Portal and lead sponsor of over 1,000 apartment units, breaks down how AI is transforming the underwriting process in commercial real estate. He compares using ChatGPT for underwriting versus Cash Flow Portal’s purpose-built AI tool, showing how automation reduces hours of manual data entry into minutes of analysis. Perry also discusses the current limitations of AI in financial modeling, the importance of human oversight, and how hybrid systems—where AI handles data parsing and humans validate assumptions—are creating a new standard for speed and accuracy in deal underwriting.
