We feel like we’re pretty unique here at EquityScout.com in a number of respects, but I know we’re not the only fish in the sea of real estate evaluation software. There are a few other services out there – I took a look at a few of them over the past couple of days…
- Advantage Software LLC : Based out of Pardeeville, WI. Advantage offers a downloadable windows based software package for $97.95 that produces reports, graphs, ratios, etc. They offer some specialized products as well, including a program called Flip-it assistant for the same price. Their website includes screenshots of report graphs, etc.
- RealData : Based in Southport CT. RealData sells a suite of Microsoft Excel ® spreadsheets, ranging in price from $99.00 (for their “ultra-light” model) to a high of $495 (for their standard spreadsheet). To see how their offerings compare they’ve included a comparison chart .
- REI Wise : Offers desktop products ranging in price from $59 to $499. They have a demo of their commercial product that you can view on their site. Like EquityScout.com, REI Wise offers some online products: commercial for $24.95 and residential for $14.95.
- Doug Rutherford CPA. Doug sells Microsoft Excel® spreadsheets from two different websites: RentalSoftware.com and Landlord Software. Doug offers two products, Landlord’s Cash Flow Analyzer Pro and Flipper’s Cash Flow Analyzer, both for $79.95. He also offers coaching for $75/hr and a variety of courses.
- Real Estate Informatics: Based in Fairfax VA. Sells Microsoft Excel ® spreadsheets ranging from the ROI Forecaster Spreadsheet download ($99.95) to the Professional Edition w/ software mailed ($179).
Note: no recommendations or critique in this post. I'm interested in hearing from anyone out there who has any experience with any of these products/services. More to come...
