Property Investment Analysis (PIA) Software
Our Property Investment Analysis (PIA) program is an
essential decision tool for investors. It will analyse the capital growth, cash
flows, and tax implications for any investment property and provide instant
feedback on the projected after-tax cost and rate of return. The software will
compute cash flow projections for up to 40 years and has facilities for changing
more than 100 variables including property price, rent, capital
growth,
inflation, deposit, loan type, etc. The internal rate of return (IRR) and the
cost-per-week are recalculated automatically whenever a change is made. A
User's Guide containing a tutorial and worked examples is available for
downloading from the web site.
The software is available in two versions to run on Windows (Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, Vista). A third version is now available for Pocket PC computers running Windows CE (click here for details). In terms of analytical functions, report options and graphical displays, the two personal computer versions are almost identical. The differences relate to their intended use: one is designed for personal use while the other is designed for professional use. The Pocket PC version (Pocket PIA) is designed as a companion product for both.
PIA Personal Professional – PIAFpu (Fpu = For personal use) – This version of the program is designed specifically for investors and comes as software only, has a single-user license, and is restricted to personal use.
PIA Professional – PIAPro (Pro = Professional) – This version is designed for industry professionals who want to use PIA to help investors understand all the benefits and implications of investing in property. This version has all the analytical features of the PIA Personal Professional plus additional client-related features (e.g. client detail fields and professional disclaimers in any generated reports). The professional package also includes a site license for the software and complimentary copies of two of our books More Wealth from Residential Property and Building Wealth Story by Story.
Pocket PIA - PIAPkt This is a Pocket PC version of the PIA software. It has been designed to give instant cash flow analysis information in the field to investors who might be reviewing a potential property investment. While it does not have all of the features of the desktop versions of the software, you can do the basic cash flow analysis while recording all of the property information during investment safaris. The files can then be uploaded on return and analysed in greater detail and reports produced using the desktop version of PIA.
