Real Estate Investment Software - Why the Benefit to Agents and Investors is Pure Logic

Real estate investment software is a true benefit to agents and investors engaged in real estate investing and rental property analysis in the same way a surfboard is a benefit to a surfer-it’s logical. Here’s what I mean. Real estate investing is defined as the act of using money to purchase real estate for the sole purpose of holding or leasing it for income. In other words, real estate investment is about the money (or more concisely, the “bottom line”) and “How much money will the property make?” is the primary and ultimate concern for real estate investors. Therefore, because investing is about numbers, investors are compelled to “run the numbers” when making investing decisions by default. Emotion plays almost no role in the business of real estate investing: investors look to a property’s financial performance and rates of return to decide whether to buy or sell. Okay, now consider the logic for real estate investment software...

How Do Investors Read Business Plans

There are hundreds of thousands of business plans floating around and attempting to find a funding home. I receive hundreds of business plans annually myself, and can definitely state that 99% of these documents are laughable as presentations of an exciting investment opportunity. I am not referring to the value of the product being described, rather the presentation that purports to describe an exciting investment situation.
