Built with the end user top of mind - REIF contains multiple features to make the model easy to use from the Excel novice to expert. If you can input data into a spreadsheet, you can use the REIF model.
For some more help while you build your model, please see here or check out this page on where to start your model. If you have any further questions after reviewing the information below, please email us at info@buildreif.com.
Logical Model Flow: Data entered generates formula values, which are fully customizable as needed (see Customize Formula Data). Once you input your data get your investment decision in minutes.
Color Coded Cells: The model has color coded cells to easily identify what each does when you a see a certain color or formatting.
Notes: When you scroll over the cell with a red triangle in the top right corner a "note" pops to help explain what the cell does, what data to enter, and how it will filter through the model.
Data Restrictions = Error Proof Data: No need to worry about improper data entry (e.g., a positive value instead of a negative) as REIF contains built in data validation to keep you on the right track. If you try and enter the wrong type of value into the cell, it will be rejected and the model stays intact.
Dynamic Inputs = Adjusting Data Entry = Avoiding Confusion: Cell titles adjust and unused cells are blacked out based on the options you select to remove any confusion on where or what data you’re supposed to enter. Example: Fixed Rate Mortgage doesn't need the Adjustable Rate Fixed Years, but an ARM does and as such Adjustable Rate Fixed Years will be present for the ARM and absent for the Fixed Rate Mortgage.
Support Guarantee: If you have questions or issues using the REIF model, we’ll provide assistance, including a web meeting if needed.
