Hi

My first stop would be the local realestate agents, tell them your interest and can they find out who the owner is, get them to do the work for you.

Next stop would be either a solicitor to do a title search or you can go directly to the lands department and do it yourself. Not sure how much information you can get, but it could provide the…[Read more]

Hi bruham

Sorry you didn’t have a good experience with ID, I have worked hard to create a program for the widest range of users, I don’t recall getting an email from you about your problems. I would love to hear about the issues you had as every problem I hear about helps me make ID better.

Also, if you are that unhappy with ID, please feel free…[Read more]

Hi

You’re spot on with the description, it is also a good idea to do a budget at the begining of every year you own the property to compare with the actuals during and at the end of the year. Its a good way to double check your due dilligence process. If you get differences between the budget and actuals, you are in a position to ask why the…[Read more]

Hi

The tax benefit for a property is best calculated by your accountant as arriving at the final figure is very complex. ID does not estimate this figure because it could never be accurate and this would be misleading. I know there are other packages that estimate this figure but it is only and estimate and may lead to nasty surprises later if…[Read more]

Hi Lance

Quicken and MYOB are excelent accounting packages, but I would rather spend my time doing other things, besides, thats what I pay my accountnat for, I can just give them a full list of all the expences detailed in ID exported to an excel spread sheet and they do the…[Read more]

Hi Lance

Hi NATS12

Speaking to the council is an important first step, but they are not going to help you, just tell you what they think you can and cant do. You need to go and see an independant town planner, some one who knows the local council regs back the front and how to work through the rules and loop holes to your advantage.

As far as putting in…[Read more]

Hi Pete&Jakie

The principal payments should only have an effect when P&I is selected, the latest version fixes this bug, also it only effects the “Net Profit” not the cash flow.

You were sent an email that had your license key in it and this also contains the download location for Investment Detective wher you can get the latest version,…[Read more]

Hi Ron

Investment Detective supports multiple portfolios and you need to select a portfolio to add a property to first.

When ID is installed for the first time there is a default portfolio called “Properties”, click on this tab and you will be able to add a new property.

Hi Luc

ID uses a standard repayment calculation that you would find typically in excel or any other financial calculator. Most banks have very unique formula’s that they use to determine the actual repayment, you can set the repayment in ID manually by un-checking the “Always Calculate Repayment” and entering the repayment the bank has cal…[Read more]

Hi Raymond

Right now there are no emails for new versions, if you keep an eye on the ID download page it will be updated occasionally.

I am hoping to introduce an automatic update check in a future version that will alert users to a new release.

Thanks
