Real Estate Genius Investment Software Blog

Here is a tip: Judson and Lynn Voss offer a very well done weekly podcast on real estate investing. Their podcast is from the investor’s point of view; each week they bring in a different expert to shed some light on different aspects of the real estate business. It’s a free podcast; we’ve been enjoying listening to it while commuting back and forth to work. A lot more educational than Top40 radio!

It just so happens that Judson and Lynn contacted us to feature yours truly, Real Estate Genius, on the podcast. The podcast was a nice forum for explaining ‘why’ investors should care abot financial forecasting, as well as ‘how’ Real Estate Genius works.

But why would you want to? If you’re going to make a major investment, and any real estate buy certainly counts as major (unless you’re Donald Trump), then you really should apply some due diligence.

That’s not to say all of your experience counts for nothing, it’s just saying that you should take a peak at what the numbers tell you.

It used to be a real project to do that kind of analysis. But that’s why we created Real Estate Genius — it’s fast, and it’s simple. No more excuses! Spend a few minutes working on your assumptions, plug them into Real Estate Genius, and you’ll come away with a detailed picture of how things just might play out.

It’s even better than sketching things out on the back of a napkin!
