The Property Reality software solution is the most comprehensive property software program for the SA residential property market in terms of performing bond calculations and property investment return calculations.

There are a number of property software solutions available in South Africa, most of which focus on property management and accounting for property investments but none of these products come close to ours in terms of enhancing a user’s understanding of property calculations, forecasting expected investment return and measuring the actual investment return achieved on each individual property investment against initial forecasts.

We believe that our focus area of cash flow and investment return contributes immense value to the property investment decision making process. In addition, our property software product also includes the functionality to generate basic reports for property management and accounting purposes.

This unique property software solution provides users with the following functionality:

• Perform a wide range of bond calculations from determining affordability to calculating bond repayments and interest savings and measuring the effect of changes in interest rates,
• Perform accurate property investment return calculations incorporating all significant variables,
• Enhance your understanding of the variables which influence investment return and use the flexibility of our software functionality to compare property investment opportunities,
• Record all individual property transactions and measure actual investment return against initial forecasts,
• Export transactions to Excel for accounting purposes or generate PDF transaction reports,
• Generate rent income reports per individual property or for the entire portfolio,
• Measure the living costs associated with primary residences,
• Keep an accurate record of renovations – this is essential for both primary residences and buy to let properties for capital gains tax purposes,
• Compare the actual investment return for an unlimited number of properties, and
• Calculate annual and monthly cash flows on an ongoing basis.

It should be apparent that users of our property software will derive immeasurable benefit from our product which far outweighs the cost of purchasing the software. The remaining question is whether you can afford to be without this functionality when making property investment decisions?

The Property Reality software includes 12 bond calculators, 5 property investment return calculators, a My Properties module for recording and measuring actual investment return against forecasts and a comprehensive help module which covers all software functionality.

The bond calculators and property investment calculators are the same calculators which are available on-line. You can have a look at these calculators by clicking on the Calculators – List menu at the top of this page – bond calculators are available free of charge and we provide a free 15 day period for trying out the investment return calculators (registration as a web site member is required).

The My Properties module enables users to:

• Create multiple properties,
• Capture transactions for each property,
• View or edit the transactions,
• Calculate and save a forecast of investment return for each property,
• Measure actual investment return and cash flow against forecasts on an ongoing basis,
• Generate reports on rent income for each individual property or the entire portfolio, and
• Generate reports for accounting purposes and export to Excel or as a PDF document.

The comprehensive help module provides users with assistance in using the software which includes:

• The purpose of each calculator,
• Guidance on user input required for each calculator,
• Details on each of the common variables used in the Return Calculators,
• Guidance on the investment return calculation techniques, and
