Overall view using Somersoft PIA

[Powerfrau]

If someone has a few properties, is it possible to gain an overall snapshot using the PIA software? For example, total rent across all properties, total commissions expense, total land tax expense, total insurance expense?

How user friendly is the PIA software? What kind of support is there for newbies? Have people had good experiences? I would love to hear about people's best stories ie the problem they had and how it was addressed and solved.

Is it possible to install the PIA software on an iPad or a laptop?

Thankyou for helping me on my property journey, and thankyou to Jan Somers for her inspiration over the years.

Yes it is possible to get an overall look at your entire portfolio, individual properties or combinations of them.

There's a comprehensive user guide and manual to explain all the tricks. I'm pretty sure that's actually online for anyone to use so it might be worth looking at it to examine the features for yourself - they're well documented.

It only runs on the Windows operating system.

I have it on my Mac and use Parallels Desktop to run windows, thus PIA.

Does it 'only' do projections/analysis?

Will it also produce actuals ie tax reports etc eg like Quicken?

Try using demo version. I believe it's for simulation and hypothetical scenario analysis. I don't think it is a software to run actual profit and loss or to track ur expenses.

No it doesn't. It is best for analysis of your investment portfolio. It doesn't do property expense management.

I have heard of "Property Management Pro" being able to do that here but seem that developer has discontinued it's development now
