INVESTMENT ANALYST Professional has a host of features. It is a full blown lease by lease program that will handle the most complicated analyses. Common area charges, both fixed and operating pass-throughs, step rents, proration of leases to the day, superb reports. We could go on and on.
But perhaps its most important feature is its ability to handle the small jobs easily too. You do not have to enter complicated lease information when it is not
necessary. Just enter basic income and expense information. Let ANALYST
build a capitalization rate, calculate the value, and print the reports.
It will look like you spent days working on the numbers when in fact you
may only need to spend 10 or 15 minutes.
ANALYST does a stabilized analysis simultaneously, even when you are performing
a lease analysis; i.e. it builds a capitalization rate using the Mortgage
Equity Technique and applies that rate to your estimate of stable net income.
So you have a built in benchmark against which to compare the results of your lease analysis.

Investment Analyst Standard
Includes the Commercial Complete option, the Unit Sales option, a Manual
and CD, and free updates through December of 2008
INVESTMENT ANALYST Standard is the perfect solution for those who do not need to perform complicated lease by lease analyses.
Detailed lease information cannot be entered and expense pass throughs cannot be specified. Fewer income items (43) and fewer expense items (17) can be entered.
In all other respects, the program is identical to the Professional version
(see above). This is the economical solution for those who need the power
of a sophisticated income analysis program, but rarely do complicated analyses
of leases.

The Analyst Standard Suite is the ideal product for:
- Appraisers who rely upon stable income and expenses to project value and seldom appraise large properties that have complicated lease provisions.
- Property Assessors - Able to automatically build Load Factors and load the caprate.
- Bank lending officers who need quick, but accurate, value estimates before
processing loan requests.
- Review appraisers
- Real estate agents
- Small and large real estate investors
- CPA's and investment counselors
- Insurance companies, pension funds,REITs
- Property owners

Commercial Complete - $495 option
Included in the Pro Suite and the Standard Suite
|
If you own Analyst, you already appreciate the benefit of a smart software program that is designed specifically to perform income analyses. Because "the Expert is in the Software," you don't have to worry about formulas,
report formatting, spreadsheet manipulation,
or errors that lie beneath the cells. Everything
is automatic. Data entry is easy. Reports
are clean, comprehensive and they intelligently
change as your data changes.
But what about the other calculations that
you perform? Comparison Grids? Database storage?
Income Multipliers? Direct Caprates? You
are probably still struggling with spreadsheets
- more or less automating the process. But
not adequately. Or you are grinding out the
calculations on a calculator. Or you are
skipping these calculations because "they
do not apply," when what you may really
mean is that it takes too long to calculate,
format data, and insert into your narrative.

Property Data Screen
 |
Commercial Complete brings the same simple interface to these methods that you have come to
rely on when performing an income analysis. Easy data entry, automatic
calculations, no formulas to enter, no spreadsheets or databases to learn.
And most important; clean, intelligent reports that can be inserted directly
into your narrative. Imagine being able to analyze the income of your commercial
property, with the added abilities to print Property Datasheets with photos;
to print Comparison Grids using non-income criteria, direct caprates and
income multipliers; and to look up the data on other commercial properties
instantly and by any search criteria. ALL WITHIN THE SAME
COMFORTABLE INTERFACE OF INVESTMENT ANALYST.
Imagine the savings in time and hassle!
This is the real deal. A commercial property database that is based
upon the latest technology and integrated into Investment Analyst. The
same "feel." The same fine reports. We have looked at some of the other commercial databases on the market
and they do not compare to Commercial Complete in ease of use, level of
features or quality of reports.

|
You can pay well over $1,000 for dedicated real estate database software.
Most, if not all, of the others are based on older technologies.
Many of these products also carry annual fees of $250 or more, just in
maintenance fees. Worse yet, these products have a weak history of
upgrading their products to keep pace with new technologies (MsDos, then
Windows 95, then Windows 98, then ME, XP, Vista, then….). Worst of
all, many of the database products that have been released over the years
are no longer available. Out of business. When that happens,
you are stuck.
If you go down the road of hiring someone to customize a database for you,
watch out for the deep pit. And make sure that whoever does it for
you will be around to modify it or fix it.
Investment Analyst has a long history. We have made steady improvements
over the years - 14 major upgrades in 20 years. And we do not require
annual maintenance fees. You can upgrade when the time is right for
you. And you can be assured of free updates through 2008, when you purchase
now.
So what does Investment Analyst, with the Commercial Complete option, do?
In addition to all of Analyst’s income analysis features, it is a powerful
database. But it does not look like or feel like a database.
It looks, feels and works like Investment Analyst.
The database features are completely integrated with Investment Analyst.
Same easy data entry and same great reports. At your fingertips are
data fields to store all important aspects of a commercial property. Any
commercial property. Improved sales and land sales. Shopping
centers and apartment buildings. Income and non-income properties.
Even single families. Fields for sale price, legal information, dimensions, income/expenses,
location, quality of construction.....many more. It has it all.
You can define the types as you enter new data. Analyst is smart enough to know the difference. Powerful search capabilities. Better than anything we have seen.
Comparison Analysis
With Analyst and the Commercial Complete option you can do a comparison
grid analysis automatically, based upon non-income adjustments or any of
several multipliers (direct caprates, gross income multiplier, adjusted
gross multiplier, or net income multiplier.
If you have a database
If you already have a database, there is a good chance that we can move
your data into Analyst. Additional charges may apply, depending upon
what you have.

Unit Sales Option - $150 option
Included in the Pro Suite and the Standard Suite
Unit Sales, or subdivision analysis is a specialized form of discounted cash flow analysis. If you don't have an intelligent program that organizes your analysis, it can be needlessly tedious and complicated. Worse yet, it can be done incorrectly. This is especially true if you don't do this kind of analysis very often.
When you do get a subdivision assignment, you will probably spend a lot
of time re-learning the technique. We take the tedium out of the analysis.
We make it simple, straight forward and complete. When you purchase Investment
Analyst, the Unit Sales option can be seamlessly incorporated for only
an additional $150.
