By Rob Powell

Hey....thanks for coming back! We sure do appreciate it. A repeat reader is a compliment....for sure! Please make sure you subscribe!

Greetings from “Category Five” Cedar Crest, NM.

I have a mortage with Countrywide.  I got an email from Countrywide letting me know that I am a “special” customer.  And, since I am so special, they want to offer me huge discounts to get me to refinance my home.

Well…I call and they offer me a refinance rate of 4.5%  Holy Cow…4.5%  BUT…yes…this is a great rate BUT….then I am told I live in an area that is considered “Category Five.”  Guess who else is a Category Five?  Phoenix, Las Vegas, and all of California.  Category Five is the “mark of death” with regards to home loans and refinancing. So…now I have to jump through hoops to get the great rate.  So…want to know what category your neighborhood is in….call Countrywide.

FREE Commercial Real Estate Analysis Calculators:

I was doing some research for free online commercial real estate calculators and below is a list of my favorites:

Bull Realty – List of several online commercial real estate calculators A comprehensive list of commercial real estate analysis calculators and more.  Solid site for online resources.

Mortgage Investments Online Calculators

LseMod Calculators A comprehensive list of not-so-run-of-the-mill calculators at this site.

Real Estate Business This is a bonus website that is not an online calculator but it does a great job explaining how to calculate different commercial real estate calculations.  From Gross Potential Income to Return on Equity.  There is a lot here and even a few free spreadsheets you can download.

If there is one site that has all the calculators you can dream of that are not real estate related (although there a some real estate calculators), Martindale’s Calculators online has it. Check it out just for grins.  There are over 23,ooo calculators…so maybe there are commercial real estate related calculators….I just don’t have the time to look.

If you have any FREE favorite commercial real estate calculators that you would like to add to the list.  Please comment and let me know.
