97856 2002-11-11 22:03:00 Does any one know of free software for investment property calculators.
Or sites to down load such a product. Also known as IRR(internal rate of return). Grateful for any help, thanks.

97858 2002-11-11 22:14:00 Excel does IRR calculations...its a few years since I used it, but it was straightforward. godfather (25)
97859 2002-11-12 01:06:00 IRR is just one method of assessing investment properties. You can also use net present value etc. I find it easy enough to write VB macros for Excel to calculate IRR's in circumstances where pre-packaged software does a limited or useless job.
IRR is actually useful for a variety of financial calculations, shares versus bonds versus term deposits, etc. All it does is to give you guidance as to whether one stream of receipts/expenditures spread out over time is better for you than another stream, or others.
There's actually (probably not telling you anything new) a lot more to investment property than IRR.

One of the core requirements for a Property student nowadays... :)

Lo.
