PIA Software

Hi all, looking to invest in some software to assist in doing what if scenarios for building our portfolio.

PIA software looks very dated (I'm sure it's good) however not kept up with the times from a modern user interface point of view.

Has anyone else found any alternatives ? If so are you willing to share ?

 

PIA software whilst it may look dated is regularly updated and has been used by many on this forum,other software you may want to look at is POSH.

Best property feaso software

It's amazing that no one has created a full online cloud based solution.

 

Investors are cheap that’s probably why

 

You want Pain In the Ass software? Try Windows 10.

 

Just build your own spreadsheet.

Im in the Hills. Pop on by and I'll give you a copy of mine....

 

I have NEVER see a excel version of PIA that even gets 20% of it. And if I did it would take a load of testing before I even trusted it. Its based on Microsoft Access as the engine and why it retains that look I suspect. Later versions also look more current than the userguide images. ie Win 10. Also a Mac version

PIA looks outdated but isnt. Its unique and still #1. Its VERY complex in what it does (fine detail and modelling) and takes sometime to learn but is well worth it. The userguide is well documented with pics too.

It is also updated regularly for changes to laws. That could be a massive issue for other products and excel eg

@hillsguy, I'm developing a modelling tool for this exact purpose. It's capable of testing scenarios on a multi-property portfolio.

Feel free to send me a line if you'd like access to it. That invitation is open to anyone as well, just send me a direct message.

@Paul@PFI it would be great to get a professional opinion on what I have been building as well. Please let me know if you'd be keen to use it.

 

I am trying to build something similar to include 3 main asset type - resi, commercial and shares. Is anyone generous enough to share the latest version of their xls?
