New "Express Edition" of Real Estate Investment Analysis Software

Times change. Needs change. Our customers have been telling us what they require to succeed in today's markets, and so we're pleased to announce a new Express Edition of our Real Estate Investment Analysis software. We developed this program as a successor to our REIA Ultra-Lite software -- but we designed it for a wider audience, and with some new features that we think you'll find very valuable.

We designed REIA Express with several audiences in mind. Perhaps you are...

• a broker who needs to create presentations for potential sellers or buyers;
• an investor who deals with residential or small- to medium-sized commercial properties;
• a person who is new to real estate investing, or a student in the fields of real estate development or finance;
• someone whose specialty is to buy, rehab, and then re-sell property for a profit.

If any of these describe your situation, then the Express Edition of REIA may be just the ticket for you.

Express is really three program in one

• Detailed Long-Term Analysis -- Create 10-year pro forma projections of income and expenses, rent roll, financing, cash flow before taxes, and resale. Examine key measures of return, such as IRR, PV and cash-on-cash.
• Quick Long-Term Analysis -- Complete a full "first pass" analysis of a property in just minutes on a single worksheet. Save time, and decide if the property merits a more in-depth analysis.
• Short-Term Analysis -- Take a month-by-month approach to a property you plan to buy, renovate and resell within two years.

Now, about those new features...

• Switch from Detailed Analysis Mode to Quick Analysis or Short-Term with just a single mouse-click
• Observe on-screen alerts as the software automatically highlights potential deal-killers like low Debt Coverage Ratio, sale proceeds that are less than your cash investment, and more
• Add your logo or other graphic to all reports
• Add pictures to the Real Estate Business Plan presentation
• Use our built-in goal seeking to find the purchase price that will make your deal work
  
• Apply new financing options, including conversion of interest-only loans to amortized, and second or third mortgages that are placed after acquisition
• Go Global -- select international currency symbols, metric measures, Canadian loan amortization and more

The price for Express is just $159. You can check out all of the new features on the Express product page.

Also, we're trying to provided a cleaner, simpler look -- again to make it easier for you to navigate and to find the content you want.
