Competitive Software Upgrade
Does the use of inadequate real estate investment software leave you feeling weak, disillusioned, unfulfilled? We have the remedy… switch to RealData software. If you purchased any other commercially available real estate investment analysis software and would like to upgrade to a RealData product, we’ll give you a competitive upgrade discount of up to $99.
Here’s the deal:
Submit a support ticket through our helpdesk at http://www.realdata.com/helpdesk or call us at 800-899-6060. We will tell you how to submit your proof of purchase from a competing product. We’ll give you a credit toward the purchase of any RealData software product – a credit of $99 or the amount you paid for the competing product (taxes, shipping, media charges excluded), whichever is less. What a deal.
Fine print: New RealData software purchases only. Competitive purchases since 1/1/03. We reserve the right to accept/reject proof of competing product purchase. Offer may be withdrawn at any time. This discount may not be combined with any other discount or promotion.
RealData Software Updates
If you’re a user of RealData software we would like to be sure you’re using the latest version of our products. At the top of one of the first two worksheets in our Excel-based programs for Windows (for example, on the “General” sheet in Real Estate Investment Analysis) you should find a version number and a “build” number. We generally release new versions when we implement significant improvements, new builds for minor enhancements and bug fixes.
Compare your RealData programs to the latest versions and builds in the table below. If you don’t have the current version, you may qualify for a free or reduced-price upgrade. If you do have the latest version but not the latest build then you can definitely receive the latest at no charge.
To obtain a new build (free) or to find out the cost of an upgrade, submit a support ticket through our helpdesk, http://www.realdata.com/helpdesk Please include the program serial number if you can locate it – and, of course, your name.

New Article – Simple Real Estate Investment Software – Simply Wrong?
Speaking of software that’s unfulfilling, we looked at a number of simple investment analysis programs. Naturally we some some nits to pick but more importantly we found that most of them oversimplified a fundamental principle of income-property analysis right out of existence. Read more about it http://www.realdata.com/ls/simple.shtml.
Customer Survey – Win $100, $200 or $300 off of your next purchase of RealData software
During 23 years in the software business, many of the ideas for product improvements and new applications have come from you, our customers. Up until now, we’ve been pretty informal about how we’ve collected your opinions. This month we’re introducing our customer survey, where you can tell us what you like about our products and service, what we can improve and what we might add to our product line. As an incentive, we’re offering 3 prizes worth up to $300 off of your next purchase of RealData software. If you don’t care to be entered in the drawing, you can take the survey in complete anonymity. Access the survey by going to http://www.realdata.com and clicking the survey link on the home page.
In either case, thanks for your participation.
New Featured Resource for Demographic/Geographic Data
We recently learned of a service that appears to have great promise for brokers, investors and developers. Maptitude provides mapping and geographic analysis tools. You can enter an address and in addition to locating it on a map, the service can provide answers to questions about proximity to highways, schools, parks, flood plains, etc. and supply extensive demographic information about the locations as well. Definitely worth a look: http://www.realdata.com/learn.shtml
New Article – California Dreamin’… About Base-Year Valuation
Last issue we renewed our invitation to readers of this newsletter to share their knowledge and experience by contributing articles for the “Learn” section of realdata.com. We received several good submissions, the first of which, from Michael Barton, Vice President of Real Estate Tax Services for Property Tax Assistance Company of Bellflower, CA, you can read here: http://www.realdata.com/ls/california.shtml Michael offers some interesting observations on dealing with property-tax assessments and base-year valuations in California.
New 1031 Exchange Analysis
In August we announced the release of a new program for the analysis of 1031 exchanges. If you’re involved with exchanges and haven’t taken a look, we urge you to do so.
With The Exchangor you can balance equities, evaluate boot given and received, estimate the realized and recognized gains, calculate the transfer basis and compare property cash flows. A convenient worksheet even helps you build a sample (i.e. pro forma) form 8824.
You can find more info at: http://www.realdata.com/p/1031/1031productpage.shtml The program is available for immediate download for just $195 or on CD for a small additional shipping charge.
