Best Way to Analyze Real Estate Portfolio?

So I'm an IB analyst with a secondary role of analyzing alternative real estate investments. We're based in Asia but we have property investments in the Mid-altantic in the US as well as New York ranging from apartment complexes, commercial buildings, and brownstones in NY.

So far I only have the usual financial analysis (Acquisition cap rates, Cash flows, IRR, NPV, etc) but I'm thinking of coming up with new research and analysis as value added work for my boss.

I don't think it makes sense to use a VaR (Value-at-risk) analysis on real estate especially because I don't have significant historical prices of the properties. And on top of that they're not as volatile as equities or other asset classes. What other analysis and insights can I provide?

Thanks!

You could come up with a hypothetical efficient frontier using mean-variance optimization and then show where your portfolio lies on the risk/return spectrum. You'll need historical data for that but it can be an interesting analysis. DM me if you want to discuss more. Interesting topic bump on other recommendations.
