Analyst Pro is the ideal product for:

• Review appraisers
• Real estate agents
• CPA's and investment counselors
• Insurance companies and pension funds
• REITS

Standard

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.

Analyst Standard is the ideal product for:

• Real Estate Appraisers who rely upon stable income and expenses to project value and seldom appraise large properties that have complicated lease provisions.
• Property Assessors (The Professional and Standard versions will 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 and pension funds
• REITS
• Property owners

Basic

INVESTMENT ANALYST Basic is designed for those who need a sophisticated method to analyze the net income of a property, but do not require extensive detail in their reports or analysis.

Part time investors, property owners, students and instructors also will find the Basic version useful.

To simplify the user interface and to provide an affordable income analysis tool for those who do not need to analyze detailed income and expense data, we removed some of the data entry options from Professional - but the essence, power and accuracy of the product remains unchanged.

All information can be entered in minutes on one screen!!! With the Basic version you enter gross income, a vacancy rate and total expenses. Then ANALYST performs the same thorough analysis and produces the same reports as the Professional version.

Analyst Basic is perfect for:

• Real Estate Appraisers primarily interested in extracting yield rates from comparable properties and verifying the accuracy of their value estimates obtained using other tools.
• Small investors
• Property owners
• Real estate agents
• CPA's and investment counselors
• Bank lending officers who need quick, but accurate, value estimates before processing a loan request.
• Review appraisers
• Property Assessors who work primarily with gross income and expense ratios (The Basic version does not automatically load the caprate.).
• Students
