Real Estate Project Analyzer

The real estate analyzer is a simple program that will help a real estate investor determine the worth and feasibility of possible investments. This is a spreadsheet that will have to be done in steps, however, due to scope limitations.

This first phase of the project helps an investor create pro forma operating statements and to check up-to-date market data for current interest rates. This is the last step an investor will need to do an evaluation, to see if after valuation and financing is lined up, if the investment will actually have positive cash flows in the first few years. Once initially calculated, an investor can check the sensitive of their results by creating a new spreadsheet with slightly different inputs.

In the future, the program will also help an investor through valuation, financing and tax decisions, simple risk analysis, and the rent vs buy option.
