Description

Have you wondered if a house is a good buy for your real estate portfolio? REInvest's free software will give any user important details to help make the decision a lot easier for you. Important attributes crucial to your investment decisions are considered such as Cash on Cash return, ROI, Net Operating Income, Fixed Monthly Morgage, Monthly Cash Flow, and many more valuable details for you to evaluate the investment upon. This software also allows you to save your previous houses, allowing you to come back and check them whenever you want.

Navigating the UI

• Homepage Upon logging in, you will be directed to your properties page, which will allow you to view, edit, or create analysis for a new property.

• Add New Property Clicking the Add New Property button will redirect to a form page, prompting you to fill in some information about your property. Our software will then use that data to calculate different factors of this property using industry formulas.

  

• Updating Property There are two ways that you can edit information about a property. You can either click the edit button in the property page or click the update button in the analysis page.

• Viewing existing properties All your existing properties will populate in your properties page. We incorporated a search bar for you to search properties based on address. To view data about an existing property, just click the view button, which will direct you to the analysis page of that property.
