Previewed by the real estate industry at the show in Miami in November, convention-goers welcomed this handheld professional tool, created in response to requests for a calculator that simplifies advanced investment calculations.

Featuring easy-entry Cash Flow keys, Investor Plus allows users to enter up to 99 occurrences of 20 different cash flows; then calculate Net Present Values, Net Future Values, Internal Rates of Return and Modified Internal Rates of Return.

This eliminates the need to enter negative figures, except when an entry represents an actual loss.

Built-in functions for calculating depreciation based on Present, Salvage and Lifetime Value may be determined using three different methods: Straight Line, Declining Balance and Sum of Years' Digits. By combining Cash Flow operations with these depreciation features, investors may fully evaluate almost any investment opportunity.
