REIA Professional

New Features in Version 20

• Optional 24-month development period with entries for all your hard and soft costs, construction markup, development loan.
• Expanded Basic Income for Residential, Apartment Buildings and commercial properties: Add rows to expand the number of units by dozens or hundreds for any size project
• Improved Renovation Period for Basic Income – take units offline for renovation, easily handle vacancy loss and rent increase upon completion
• New Decision Maker Report
• Improved documentation, cell notes, knowledgebase – We have been busy editing the existing content and added new content in the product, the user guide and on the web site.

New Features in Version 18

• Value-add vacancy allowance – The Residential Income worksheet now includes (beginning in build 1.18) data entry to indicate a year and number of months to specific vacancy for each line item unit type. If you are renovating or otherwise working on a value-add multi-family project, you can quickly and precisely show rental loss while you are renovating units.
• Lease Renewal Assumptions (LRA) – New in build 1.06 – A way for you to store sets of parameters about different commercial lease rollover scenarios, parameters which you can use over and over when entering tenant information in REIA Pro. What is the probability that a current tenant will renew? How long do you think the space will be vacant if a tenant chooses not to renew? Read more in our knowledgebase article
• Fiscal Years – You can now choose to display fiscal years in the form “Year 1”, “Year 2” and so on, which don’t necessarily correspond to calendar years. Just select the “Fiscal Years” checkbox on the General worksheet.
• Partnership Syndication Fees – You can now specify an acquisition fee, asset management fees and a disposition fee to be paid to the general partner or managing member.
• Capitalization Rate by Year – When estimating the selling price, you can use a separate capitalization rate for each possible year of sale.
• Single Photo Page – Use this free-form report to add a property photo, floor plan, map — any image file. Use in conjunction with any other reports.
• Property Narrative – Include a page of narrative text, such as a summary of the location or a list of zoning restrictions, as one of the reports to tell the property’s story.
• Order of Reports – When printing reports, you can choose the order in which the selected reports will appear. Just drag the report to the appropriate position on the Print Reports list!
• Globally Adjust View – This new function that allows you to apply a global view setting across all the sheets. Increase or decrease the size of everything to your liking.
• Improved documentation, cell notes, knowledgebase – We have been busy editing the existing content and added new content in the product, the user guide and on the web site.

New Features in Version 17

• Tax Calculations: There have been significant tax changes for 2013, including a higher capital gain tax on some sales and the new so-called “medicare tax.” We could have made your data input here as complicated as filling out your tax return, but instead we’ve tried to keep it simple. Enter your best estimate for your ordinary and capital gain rates (we give you a pop-up table of brackets to help you decide). If it looks like the subject property will generate enough income by itself to push you beyond your estimated brackets, we’ll display an alert.
• Less Taxes, Better Internationalization: Frustrated with the growing complexity and uncertainty of the tax code and prefer to make their pro forma analyses of potential investments on a pre-tax basis? If that’s your preference too, then you’ll appreciate this new feature: With a simple check-box you can tell the program to suppress all mention of U.S. taxes from your worksheets and reports. Combine this with the existing options for international currency symbols and units of measure to analyze a property in any country.
• Waterfall Calculations: In the Partnership Analysis you now have the option to select up to four tiers each for the distribution of cash flows and sale proceeds. The program will help you keep your range entries properly sequenced. This is just one of a number of advanced features that you typically find only in programs costing many times the price of REIA.

• Individual Pass-Through Bases: In the Commercial Income module you can now define the base amount for pass-throughs on a tenant-by-tenant basis.
• Tenant Improvements in Wizards: TI are now included in the “new unit” and “rollover” wizards. See it
• More Key Metrics: Now you can see all of the key metrics for your analysis on the Decision Maker worksheet. One-stop shopping for what you need to know. View screenshot
• Lease vs. Buy: We’ve given the Lease vs. Buy Analysis a complete makeover. The analysis has a new look, and also provides a new summary cash flow and resale report designed from the point of view of an investor who is an owner-occupant.
• Didn’t Upgrade to Version 16? Then you’ve been missing the Decision-Maker stress-test module; new worksheets for self-storage, hotel and continuing-care retirement; detailed capital improvements worksheet and report; and more.
