    Real estate investor market study: Is there any value to an online tool that takes the guesswork out of real estate prospecting and analysis, and feeds investors with homes for sale ranked by investment potential?

    Mike, every investor/spruiker/speculator uses different criteria to determine what is a ‘good deal’. Ie unsophisticated investors may use gross returns which may be quick but wildly inaccurate when trying to compare 2 assets or asset classes.

    Net returns assuming 100% borrowings etc in pre-tax $, exclusive of gst or other tax treatments, are a better indicator as everyone’s tax situation is different.

    More indepth analysis for stable assets would give rise to the use of IRR & NPV, which I favour.

    Different criteria would also need to be used for H & BU for development sites.
