New International Edition of Real Estate Investment Analysis
We're pleased to announce the release of a new International Edition of our Real Estate Investment Analysis software. The new program will perform a 20-year pre-tax analysis of income property and include these special features:
- The ability to specify virtually any currency name or symbol; the software will automatically display that name or symbol as needed throughout all worksheets and reports.
- The ability to specify rentable area in terms of square meters as well as square feet; again, the appropriate terminology will automatically appear on all worksheets and reports
- The choice of performing mortgage calculations according to the U.S. and European method (monthly accrual of interest) or the Canadian method (semi-annual accrual)
The new edition is great for non-U.S. investors, of course, but is equally valuable for U.S. investors working either at home or abroad. It offers the same powerful income, expense and cash flow analyses for commercial and residential income properties as you would find in our Standard Edition.
The new program is priced at $397, but readers of this Dispatch can receive a $100 discount through May 31, 2005. To receive your discount place your order online at www.realdata.com and use promotional code InterWD for a downloaded version and InterWS for the shipped version when you check out.
A Call to Real Estate Educators Teaching and Learning Resources on the Horizon
My book, What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow..., (insert shameless self-promotion here:) has been among the top 10 real estate books on Amazon for the better part of a year. It is a text and reference guide that discusses more than three dozens key concepts and calculations related to income-property analysis.
Perhaps because of its popularity (notoriety?) we've had numerous requests to provide teaching materials to accompany both the book and our Real Estate Investment Analysis software. We've begun to produce such materials and hope to make them available later this year. They will include a lecture outline and presentation, sample investment problems, quizzes and tests. We would like to give readers of our newsletter a sneak preview of what we have in mind, so follow this link Case Study to see one of the sample problems I use in my class at Columbia. This is a fairly elementary problem and you can use any edition of our Real Estate Investment Analysis, from Ultra-Lite on up, to work on it. If you would like to see some potential "solutions," the problem includes links to those as well.
I have a special plea to those of you who teach income-property analysis, either at the university, licensing or continuing ed levels: We earnestly want to open a dialog with you and learn what kind of materials you would find most useful. To contact us about this, go to realdata.com and send us a support ticket. Yes, I know this is not really tech support, but our ticket system is the surest way to get your message past the spam filters. Thanks in advance. I'm looking forward to working with other teachers to develop the best materials possible.
