Quick Real Estate (RE) Development Model performs back-of-the-envelope funding and returns calculation for a new real estate development. By entering few parameters on-line you can download an Excel model or tool which based on your inputs spreads cash flows and calculates peak funding / break-even and expected returns for a new real estate project. It is free and you can re-run your inputs off-line as many times as you like.

  • Differentiate inflation factors for individual revenue and cost items (full version only), the model will automatically adjust key real terms input variable for user defined inflation factors for each forecast period

Additional inputs can be manipulated in both free and purchased versions of the Model in Excel as shown in Preview. Note that yellow fields represent inputs easily changeable in the purchased Excel file, without you needing to know how to code in Excel. Please refer to the Model's Manual to further details For further details regarding functionality of Free vs. Full versions.

Black Scholes Option Calculator

In applied finance, Black Scholes option calculator is one of those things that everyone knows what the inputs are but unlikely to remember the formula itself. Unless you trade options on daily basis, the calculator is rarely used. However, when it is needed a mad scramble to find one online begins. So we thought it would be helpful to add it to our Tools library. Presented without any further comment -

DCF Calculator

We thought it would be helpful to add to our Tools library a compact file of DCF calculate. This file is an independent free extract from our standard models. The calculation of DCF is explained in all manuals of our models, so it presented without any further comment -

Core Models Add-ons

Our Core Models - no matter how flexible - can not address every modelling need. To broaden functionality of our Core Models we came up with an idea of free Add-ons (requires registration). Each Add-on is a little Excel spreadsheet with new code overlayed over our Base Model's template with detailed instructions how to copy-paste new code into a working copy of a model in minutes. Current collection of add-ons includes modules for CapEx working capital management, Pro Forma capital structure modelling, Property Tax calculation and various examples of composite revenue assumptions.
