Whether you are representing a potential buyer or a potential Seller, you
are probably answering this question often. But in today's more sophisticated
investment climate, you are also being asked more sophisticated questions.
Buyers and sellers are asking challenging questions like these:
- What will my Annual Cash Flow be?
- What Cash on Cash Yield will the property produce?
- What Internal Rate of Return can I expect?
- My lender wants to know what the Debt Coverage Ratio will be. Can you tell me?
- If I purchase, will you help me prepare the property information to submit
to the lender?
- I would like to see a Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. Have you prepared
one?
The seller will ask for your help in developing the Asking Price. He will
be looking for a broker with the tools and knowledge to prepare an income
analysis as well as a pro-forma. Income Statements, Discounted Cash Flow
Analyses, projected income, expenses and cash flows over a future holding
period.
If you are representing a buyer, you will be asked to look at the pro-formas
of several investment properties. You will be expected to calculate and
compare rates of return, cash flows after debt service, and cash on cash
yields. And you will also be expected to prepare a clean, understandable
package to present to a financial institution.

Investment Analyst is the income analysis software used by the pros - Real
estate appraisers, Bankers, Assessors, and agents. Analyst is dedicated
"real" software (not a spreadsheet template) that is designed
to analyze all of the facets of a real estate investment. Don't waste your
money on spreadsheet based "templates." If you are serious about
investment property, you need serious software to assist you. Analyst is
serious software that does all necessary calculations and prepares organized
reports that document income, expenses, downpayments, and cash flows. These
reports are easy to understand and can be "taken to the bank."
Most important, Investment Analyst develops the "capitalization rate."
This rate is critical to a good analysis and you cannot just pull it out
of thin air. The rate varies, depending upon many factors - all of which
Investment Analyst takes into account. These factors include the investor's
required rate of return, the interest rate on a mortgage, projected growth
rates in income and expenses, and more.
Investment Analyst allows you to easily do "what if" analysis. What if future income and expenses grow at 1%, 2%, 3% ? What if the mortgage rate is 7%, or 8%, or 9% ? What happens if real estate taxes are $10,000 per year instead of $6,500 per year? With Analyst, it is easy to change any assumption in the pro-forma and instantly know its effect upon value. This is critical to making good real estate investment decisions.
