Property Feasibility Studies Made Easy...

Feastudy 6.0 Professional is the best computer software for the financial feasibility study of Australian real estate development and investment proposals in a Microsoft Windows ® environment.

Version 6.0 of Feastudy features 32bit code for compatibility for
operating systems Win 98/ME/2000/XP/Vista/7.

Feastudy 6.0 Professional is the industry standard software tool for developers, investors and valuers for investigating:

• The financial feasibility of undertaking property development projects.
  
• After-tax investment feasibility studies for income-producing real estate.
  
• Real estate values of property development sites and property investments.

Feastudy 6.0 Lite is an industry standard software tool for developers and valuers for investigating:

• The financial feasibility of undertaking property development projects.
  
• Real estate values of property development sites.

Feastudy 6.0 Professional and Lite versions can quickly, accurately and comprehensively calculate and display forecast profit and loss statements (including margin and internal rate of return information) monthly cashflows, sensitivity analysis tables for variations in critical variables (such as construction cost and interest rates) and inputs detail reports for all types of development proposals.

Graphs for development proposals are also available for viewing on-screen and printing to paper.

Comprehensive financial information for an investment proposal is given in similar types of reports in Feastudy 6.0 Professional, taking into account the investor's borrowing interest rate, equity, marginal tax rate, negative gearing, depreciation on building, plant and equipment, capital gains tax, rental escalation, etc.

When the user enters his or her required IRR and/or margin criteria, after all other relevant variables have been entered, both versions of Feastudy 6.0 can be used to help determine the residual value of a development site for a particular development proposal and Feastudy 6.0 Professional can also be used to determine the residual investment value for an investment proposal.

Feastudy 6.0 Professional also provides the following features, which are not included in Feastudy 6.0 Lite:

(1) Investment feasibility studies;

(2) Data entry and calculations for secondary debt ("mezzanine") finance, in addition to primary debt finance, for development proposals;

Advantages of the Feastudy 6.0 Professional Program

• It is quick, accurate and comprehensive, in dealing with all types of development and investment proposals, including multi-staged and multi componented projects. 
• It can give you all of the critical information you need for four types of property feasibility studies: development, investment, development site valuation and investment valuation. 
• The program's output is readily acceptable information for property financiers and accountants. 
• Feastudy 6.0 Professional can save you many hours of time creating and maintaining a feasibility study/cashflow worksheet on a spreadsheet program because only data entry is required. The program sets up a cashflow according to the dates you enter. No re-programming is required.
• It gives you the certainty that, even though your data from development to development or investment to investment will vary, the program will deal with your inputs in the same flexible and consistent fashion for all calculations. This means you can compare project or investment returns on an "apples for apples" basis. 
• Sensitivity analysis tables and graphs for critical variables help you readily perceive the importance of securing a certain sale price, a certain interest rate, etc. to achieve required returns. 
• The program is very user friendly and its reports are very reader friendly. 
• Considering the time it can save you and its reliability, Feastudy 6.0 Professional is an inexpensive tool for the important job of establishing financial feasibility.
