Each of the programs; Analyzer, Calculator, Developer, Financier, as well as the before-tax component of Investor are universal programs, and can be used to analyze real estate in any country. The Investor program calculates income taxes based on respective US or Canadian tax laws, which differ from the tax laws of other countries. However, the program allows you perform an analysis with the income tax component disabled, thus producing universal before-tax results.
If you wish to enter income taxes, you can do so by entering the amount payable each year using the Tax Adjustment grid in the Investor folder and Sale folder which allow you to make any necessary adjustments so that you can analyze the property on an after-tax basis.
Investit’s powerful and flexible features can be used to generate income and expense projections, operating cash-flows, cash-flow from sale, as well as to calculate the Net Present Value (NPV) and the Internal Rate of Return (IRR), all before tax.
In the Financier and Calculator programs, the interest rate compounding frequency is set to either the Canadian standard for residential mortgages, which is semi-annual compounding or monthly for the United States. Australia, and other countries use monthly compounding. The mortgage settings can be set to the compounding frequency used in your country.
In other countries, users such as developers can use the Developer program to carry out development analysis. Governments, public agencies and utilities etc. can also use the Investor program since they perform their analysis on a before-tax basis; Investit is in use by the property divisions of many cities, municipalities, regional districts, and government agencies across Canada.
The United States version of Investit is now available at US$279.
Shipments to destinations outside the United States or Canada will include specific instructions on how to use Investit.
