How can this software help you with your real estate investments?

Real etate investments can be financially rewarding if you do your homework before you invest. This is particularly true if you invest in residential rental property. If you are buying a property to rehab and flip, then you really don't need specialized software to help you estimate your investment return. The holding period is usually so short that pencil and paper or a spreadsheet application will work just fine. However, this is not the case with rental property. The holding period may be very long. There are so many variables that it is essential to have some sort of software application to help you with your investment analysis.

Using this software, you can quickly determine whether a property is likely to be a money-maker or a money pit. Use the software to compare properties, examine what-if scenarios, determine how much rent to charge, and much more.

For example, you have found a rental property in a great location and real estate in the area has a high appreciation rate. The rent will easily cover the mortgage, property taxes and insurance. At first glance, it seems like a great real estate investment. Before you buy it, make sure your analysis provides answers to these questions:

  • How does the rate of return on the property compare to other investments, such as investments in stocks, bonds and mutual funds?
  • Is this property a better investment than the one you saw last week?
  • If you do make this investment, when should you sell it to maximize your rate of return?
  • How many times will you have to replace the carpet? The furnace? The roof? The air conditioner? What about the other systems?
  • How much will these systems cost to replace in the future?
  • Will the property produce enough income to pay for these new systems or will you have to cover these expenses out of your own pocket?
  • What if you cannot (or do not want to) increase the rent every year?
  • How will all these factors affect the rate of return?

After considering these factors, is the property still the perfect investment? If you can't answer these questions, don't worry. RealVal Rental Property Investment Software can.
