Welcome back to my new podcast series. In my first interview I answered some questions about how I got started as an investor, and I hope my experience provided some ideas for you if you’re just looking to get started yourself.
And in the second, I talked about my first commercial investment, which is where I really found my way in leveraging technology, and which led to the birth of RealData software.
In this third interview I discuss how my experiences with the software company evolved into a passion for investor education.

Welcome back to my new podcast series. In my first interview I answered some questions about how I got started as an investor, and I hope my experience provided some ideas for you if you’re just looking to get started yourself.
Now I want to take you on the next few steps in my journey and talk about how I came to learn about analyzing income-property investments.
In this interview I tell you about my first commercial investment, which is where I really found my way in leveraging technology, and which led to the birth of RealData software.

If you’ve taken my video course, read any of my books, listened to some of the podcasts I’ve been on, then you’re very aware that I often rant about how important it is for you to account for just the real operating operating expenses when you evaluate the worth of a property — no more and no fewer.
There is one mistake I see really often, and I want to call it out here in this video blog.
If you’re not an all cash buyer, then when you purchase a piece of income-producing real estate you’ll probably need to secure mortgage financing to complete the deal. It’s essential for you to understand what your lender is looking at when underwriting that loan.
And — If you guessed that he or she is not admiring your millinery — ok then, stick with me here. I’m going to discuss briefly a couple of key yardsticks.
Of course, this short video blog post is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to evaluating, financing, and acquiring a successful real estate investment.

We’re very excited to announce the release of new Version 20 of our Real Estate Investment Analysis software. This application has been the go-to solution for thousands of income-property investors since its first release in 1982.
(No, that’s not a typo. We’re proud to report almost four decades of enhancements based on users’ feedback.)
Version 20 has big new features and a whole new outlook on both development and investment properties. It has you covered on all fronts — buy and hold, build and hold, fix and flip, value-add — now you can model them all with one software program.
At its core, Real Estate Investment Analysis (REIA) is income-property investment analysis software for all who deal with commercial or residential income properties: individual and institutional investors, developers, brokers, lenders, accountants, portfolio managers, financial planners, builders, and architects.
It helps you make detailed income and expense projections, before- and after-tax cash flow calculations, key ROI measurements, partnership analyses, and a great deal more.
New functionality in v20 brings you month-by-month development cash flow planning, with drawdown construction loan for value-add, renovation, even construction from the ground up. Evaluate the development phase, then see how holding the property produces returns over time.
Get the full scoop here about new version 20.

We’re always happy to help when users — and potential users — call to ask about a particular capability of our software. And that makes us stop to realize that applications like Real Estate Investment Analysis, Pro Edition have so many powerful features, sometimes real gems can be hidden in plain site. We’re pleased to say that we’ll be be delivering a series of short videos to highlight some of those features. You can watch the first of these right here:
Yeah, we could have come up with a sexier name than “modes,” but we’re real estate guys, not fashion designers. What really matters is that this video shows you how REIA is really three programs in one. Did you know you could even use it to evaluate a fix and flip project?
We have several more videos like this in the pipeline on topics that we get questions about, but we would very much like to hear what you want. Maybe something to do with entering data about commercial leases, or perhaps a feature that’s specific to multifamily? Maybe more detail on using the month-by-month analysis?
Please tell us. We want to know.
