Management of real estate portfolios is crucial because many corporations own large amounts of real estate assets. A portfolio could contain thousands or hundreds of properties. There are a number of ways to manage these assets. These include using various computer database systems. However, these methods come with limitations. Most systems don't provide a prudent due diligence analysis. There is no benchmark for comparing client sites to market comps.
These systems don't give corporations the information they need. One large corporation might have hundreds of properties. Each property may have its own starting and end dates. Different expenses can rise at different rates. It can also mean there are many other types of expenses that are not included in the basic expense calculation.
This invention is a tool to enable commercial real-estate managers to optimize their existing portfolios. The invention involves a financial analysis that projects future expenses on individual leased properties. This method takes into account rents, property expenses, as well as other costs associated with leased property over time. These numbers are then compared to the market value for comparable properties (called Market Comps) and the invention will result in a per site cost comparison. These results can be used as a benchmark for managers.
Another key feature of this invention is the ability to optimize a geographical region, as opposed to simply a city. The invention can also be used to optimize other real estate transactions. The invention does not rely on generalized metrics. Instead, it uses eight cycle models to calculate the impact of key investment variables on cyclical cycles. Each model provides an analytical definition for a cycle and insight into one aspect of investment timing.
The invention will not only provide financial analysis methods, but also present the results in a graphic format. Using the dashboard shown in FIGS. Large company managers can access a 50,000 feet view of their portfolios by using the dashboard shown at FIGS. To help determine which properties require attention, users can change the threshold limit colors. You can also drill down on each Site and use your dashboard to find the locations of individual properties. The invention can be used to assist corporate managers in properly evaluating commercial real estate lease portfolios.
The invention was born out of the realization that prior art systems were not robust enough to properly evaluate commercial real estate managers' portfolios. Instead, they assume a fixed, unchanging cost of the leased asset, which leads to failure to optimize.

How To
How to Replace a Broken Tile
Step 1 - Remove the old tiles.
Remove the old tiles from your flooring and put them aside. You'll want to keep these intact if you use them later. Note which pieces are missing or damaged to avoid having to search for replacements.
Step 2 - Choose New Tiles
Take a look at some different options available for tile replacement.
-
Locate a replacement tile that is the same as the one you just removed.
-
You can use the measurements taken when you removed the tile to locate a matching piece. This will make it much easier to find the right size without measuring again.
-
Find colors, patterns textures, sizes and shapes in all possible combinations.
-
Consider what grout you prefer to use. Some people prefer to use a single color, while others love mixing it up.
-
Choose a tile that resists moisture.
-
The final thing to consider is the location of the tile. It will save you time and money if you make sure there's enough space for the proper installation.
-
After you've selected your tile, place your order online or at your local Lowe's shop.
Step 3 - Place the tiles.
To install your tiles, follow the same procedure as before. Make sure they are aligned correctly so that they fit together perfectly.
Step 4 – Clean up
Be sure to sweep up all debris from the floor before applying the final protective layer.
This will prevent dirt and dust from settling into the cracks between the tiles that could cause mold.
Step 5 - Sand Down the Floor
After cleaning everything, sand down the floor to remove any loose particles left behind by the previous step.
Step 6 – Finish Off
Once the floor is smooth, apply the protective coatings. Because wet paint can cause damage to the tiles' surfaces, it is important that you wait.
Remember, you can always use a product called "damp-and-dry" on your floors to help protect against stains.
However, it will not cover all possible problems that may arise after you have installed your tiles. If you have children, an anti-slip coating may be a good idea.
And finally, remember to leave the protective sealer on for several weeks before moving back into your home.
