Pocket PIA
Pocket PIA is a Pocket PC version of the popular Property Investment Analysis (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.

It is so simple to use that once you have tailored it to your own personal
settings, a full analysis can be obtained by entering just a couple of variables
-- property price and rent. Here is a simple guide to some of the things
you can do.
