Real Estate Software - Product Overview

The user enters some basic financial information about the property, such as purchase price, down payment, expected monthly rent etc.

The Analyze button calculates the financial indicators for the property, producing simple green and red signals. Green indicates the strength of the indicator for the property is good and red indicates the strength of the indicator is bad. The analysis is done by looking at the property financial characteristics and comparing them to the investor's own benchmarks. For instance the investor might decide to only consider investment properties with an internal rate of return of 10% or higher, this becomes the investor's benchmark by which investment properties will be analyzed, if the property has an internal rate of return below 10% it will yield a red indicator and if the internal rate of return is equal or above 10% it will yield a green indicator. The same concept holds true for all the other eight indicators. All indicators are automatically calculated by the software in real time.

That's all there is to it; properties can be analyzed in matter of seconds.

RealBench provides additional features that can be used by users, which are shown below.

Users have the ability to look at the details of each indicator in the dashboard to exactly see how the indicator was calculated. RealBench translates the results to plain everyday English so that users can easily understand what the results mean for their pockets.

The Compare button calculates the real estate investment indicators for a group of investment properties in a single snap-shot from the comparison dashboard and shows the results side by side, thus allowing the user to easily see which property makes the best investment opportunity.

Users have the ability to customize the accept/reject benchmarking setting for each indicator according to the investor's financial goals and risk tolerance.
