Information about “AZ REAL ESTATE FINANCE”

Are you a real estate professional, broker, attorney, or investor who
would like to do his or her own closings more quickly?  This program
will allow you to generate most of the financial information needed for
a standard real estate or loan closing as well as allow you to check the
work of others.

If you are a consumer who would like to better understand and check the
work on those "TRUTH IN LENDING" documents you sign when you borrow
money, this program will allow you to check your lender's work to the
penny.

It calculates annuity payments or periodic amortization of loans,
interest rates on a given monthly amortization for a flat payout, or for
a balloon payment.  It also displays and prints amortization schedules
for payments to be made.

This program has been "ported" from commercial software written by the
author for attorneys, real estate brokers, title insurance companies,
and other professionals dealing in real estate and real estate finance.
This experience in the "real world" means that special attention is
always given to accuracy and presentation.  The results are generally
acceptable to law, real estate, and finance professionals.

AZ2 - Calculate Monthly Mortgage Loan Payment

Calculate the monthly payment necessary to amortize a loan (ordinary
annuity) when the payments are made at the end of each month.  AZ2
accepts input in the forms normally associated with a real estate loan.

Input Values Are:

    Loan or Mortgage Amount - The loan amount in dollars and cents.
    Do not use commas or dollar signs.  Decimals are permitted.

    Desired Annual Interest Rate - The interest rate, in percent,
    for the loan.

    Total Number of Payments - The number of monthly payments to
    be made on the loan.  Fractions are not allowed.

    Number of Payments per Year - A monthly payment would be 12
    payments per year.  Semi-annual would be 2.  etc.

This program solves the ordinary annuity equation for the payment and
gives the answer in dollars and cents.  If you desire hard copy, use
the print screen function on your computer.

AZ5HELP.TXT

AZ5 - Calculate True Interest Rate for a Mortgage

Calculate the true interest rate when given the amortization of a loan
or regular annuity.  Useful for 'Truth in Lending' calculations.  AZ5
accepts input in the forms normally associated with a real estate loan.
This program allows a final or 'BALLOON' payment of a different amount
from the regular payment to be entered.  If there is no ballon payment,
enter the regular payment value for the balloon payment value.

Input values are:

    Loan Amount - The loan amount in dollars and cents.  Do not use
    commas or dollar signs.  Decimals are permitted.

    Lender Discount Points - The number of discount percentage points
    charged by the lender.

    Other Truth in Lending Costs - Any other amount in dollars and cents
    charged or deducted by the lender you want to include.

    Number of Payments Including Balloon - Enter the number of payments
    including the balloon payment; i.e. a 30 year loan with 12 payments
    a year is a 360 payment loan.

    Payments per Year - A loan with monthly payments has 12 payments per
    year.  ...quarterly has 4 payments per year.  etc.

    Regular Payment Amount - Payment amount in dollars and cents.

    Balloon Payment Amount - Balloon payment (one time payment at the
    end of a loan)  amount in dollars and cents.

This program solves the present value equation for the true interest
rate and gives the answer as a percentage.  If you desire hard copy,
use the print screen function on your computer.

AZ7HELP.TXT

AZ7 - Amortization Schedules

Calculate and display or print an amortization table for level payments
with or without a balloon.  Show totals, balances, etc.  Give special
attention to preventing round-off errors.

Input values are:

    Title of Schedule - Text Title of the Schedule to be printed at the
    top of each page.

    Loan Amount - The loan amount in dollars and cents.  Do not use
    commas or dollar signs.  Decimals are permitted.

    Annual Interest Rate - The interest rate, in percent, for the loan.

    Payment Amount - The payment in dollars and cents.

    Date of Loan - The month number, day number in the month, and year
    separated by "-"s.  For example:  September 13, 1987 = 09-13-1987
    and August 1, 1988 = 08-01-1988.  This is the standard MS-DOS format.
    The schedule will use this date to calculate the date of future payments.
    It allows for the number of days in a month and leap years and adjusts
    the payment date accordingly.  

    Is this a balloon? - answer Yes or No then provide the date of the
    ballon payment or the number of the last payment.

    At the prompt 'Choose *D*isplay, *L*isting, *M*odify, or *E*xit'

        Enter 'D' for a VDT display of the schedule.
        Enter 'L' to print the amortization schedule on your default
                  printer.
	Enter 'M' to modify an input parameter and rerun the program.
        Enter 'E' to exit this module and return to the main menu.

    At the prompt '*F*orward, *B*ack, *D*ate, *P*ayment, *A*nother,
                   *L*ist, *E*xit?'

        Enter 'F' to move forward one page in the display
        Enter 'B' to move back one page in the display
        Enter 'D' to move the display page to a particular date
        Enter 'P' to move the display page to a particular payment no.
        Enter 'A' to enter new data and calculate a new schedule
        Enter 'L' to print the schedule on your default printer
        Enter 'E' to exit the module and return to the main menu

    With these choices, you can calculate the amortization schedule and
    print it on the default printer.  Or, display the amortization
    schedule, one year at a time.  The display can be started with a
    date, payment number, or ballon and then moved forward or backward
    one year at a time.

AZR - Reset All Values

Since the program passes the appropriate values from subroutine to subroutine,
it has been found handy to have a way to set all the values involved to zero
without exiting and reloading the program.  Not much seems to happen, but
all the values are reset to zero.

README.DOC

README.DOC for the AZ series of REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT AND FINANCE
PROGRAMS version 2.4, release date 6-28-1990.

By:                       C. E. FALANY, P.E.
                             P.O. Box 1865
                       Plant City, FL 34289-1865

Are you a real estate professional, broker, attorney, or investor who
would you like to do his or her own closings more quickly?  The AZ
series of programs will allow you to generate most of the financial
information needed for a standard real estate or loan closing as well
as allow you to check the work of others.

Are you a consumer who would like to better understand and check the
work on those 'TRUTH IN LENDING' documents you sign when you borrow
money?  THe AZ series will allow you to check your lender's work to
the penny.

This program is not a calculator clone.  The values obtained with this
program are rounded to the penny and have been designed for the real
estate professional, broker, attorney, and investor to use.

Why are the AZ Programs Different?

Because the AZ programs have been 'ported' from commercial software
written by the author for Attorneys, Real Estate Brokers, Title
Insurance Companies, and other professionals dealing in real estate
and real estate finance.

Because the author would have purchased the software instead of
porting or writing it if he could have found the functions he needed
for his investment purposes at a reasonable price.  I.e. less than a
few thousand dollars.

Because the AZ programs are not 'financial calculator clones' and
generate useful reports and schedules calculated to the penny.

Because many of the programs, in one form or another, have been in
continuous commercial use for the last fifteen years.  This
experience in the 'real world' means that special attention is
always given to accuracy and presentation.  The results are
generally acceptable to Law, Real Estate, and Finance professionals.

HOW TO INSTALL AND USE:

To utilize these programs on a 1 or 2 floppy disc system:

     1.  FORMAT /S a floppy disc with your DOS on it.
     2.  COPY A:*.* B:*.* the programs provided on the distribution
     disc to the newly formatted disc.
     3.  Put the distribution disc away for safe keeping.
     4.  Place the copy in your `boot' drive and type AUTOEXEC or
     restart the system.

To utilize these programs on a hard disc system:

     1.  MD AZ to make a partition called AZ, or any other name you
         select, on your hard disc C:.
     2.  CD/AZ to select the new partition.
     3.  Insert the distribution disc in your floppy drive A.
     4.  Copy A:*.* C: /V to copy all programs to your hard disk.
     5.  Remove the distribution disc.
     6.  Type AZ or AUTOEXEC to start the AZ series programs.

REVISION HISTORY?

Version 0, the original release, was released as BASIC language
source code.

Version 1.0 was compiled and released as executable modules instead
of basic source modules.  QUICKBASIC 4.0 by MICROSOFT was used as
the compiler.  Previous versions released in source BASIC language
were slow and occasionally inaccurate due to the variation between
BASIC interpreters.  Both of these problems have been solved with
version 1.0.

Version 1.1 improved the help text files associated with the help
screens.

Version 2.0 responded to feedback from users of 1.0 and 1.1 with the
following changes:

     Speed     All modules are compiled into one executable module
               using MICROSOFT CORPORATION's Quickbasic 4 compiler.
               Chaining and BRUN40.EXE are no longer used.

     Help      Various corrections and additions to the help text
               files further improve clarity.

     AZ6->AZ7  The amortization schedule generated by AZ6 is now
               generated by AZ7.  AZ7 allows the user to view the
               schedule before it is printed.

     Misc.     Fewer keystrokes are now required to get from menu
               to function and from screen to screen.

Version 2.1 responded to a bug resulting from some minor differences
between the QuickBasic 4 interpreter and compiler, and to user
feedback requesting fewer keystrokes and better presentation.

     AZ7       A bug was found and fixed where a payment of less
               than ten cents ($.10) could cause a round off error.

     AZ7       A bug was found and fixed that prevented printing
               balloon amortization schedules.

     Speed     Still fewer keystrokes are required.

Version 2.2 corrects some spelling errors, improves the report format
and adds some additional 'HELP' screens.

Version 2.3 modifies the input screens to be more user friendly and
allows the results from one screen to be used in the next
automatically.  A 'clear all data' function resets the internal memory
and redundant functions are combined to produce fewer screens.  No
additional bugs were found or reported so none were fixed.

Real estate professionals, brokers, lawyers, and investors seem to
generate the most interest in the AZ programs.  This revision is
intended to meet the needs they express.

Version 2.4 makes four modifications in the presentation program requested
by 'beta' test sites.

WARRANTY:

The AZ series of programs is written in the BASIC language to solve
a number of common real estate investment and financial problems and
to provide financial closing information.  The executable modules
supplied on this disc were created using MICROSOFT QUICKBASIC 4.0
compiler and MS-DOS.

The programs have been thoroughly tested on International Business
Machines (IBM) and IBM compatible personal computers.  However, ONLY
YOU, THE USER, CAN DETERMINE IF THESE PROGRAMS FIT ANY PARTICULAR
NEED OR APPLICATION YOU MAY HAVE.  NO WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE OF
FITNESS OR APPLICATION, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, IS MADE.

If you are a registered user and have a disc provided by us, on
which there is a media failure, please return it to us within one
hundred eighty (180) days of shipment by us and we will rewrite it
or provide a new disc at no charge.

If you are not a registered user and have a disc provided by us, on
which there is a media failure, please return it to us within thirty
(30) days of shipment by us, and we will rewrite it or provide a new
disc at no charge.  There is no other warranty for media failure.

General Information:

The software on this disc is intended to be what is commonly called
`shareware'.  The author of the programs, C. E. Falany, makes them
available for you to use for evaluation purposes, without charge.  If
you use this software for any other purpose, you must register and pay
a fee.

Since the distribution disc for version 2.0 and later no longer
contains software that is the property of MICROSOFT, please do not
hesitate to copy it.  The author is no longer providing free copies.
If you would like a copy of the programs on this disc from the
author, there is a service charge.  Print ORDRFORM.DOC to create a
blank form for this purpose.

If you would like to be registered as a user of the AZ series of
programs, please use ORDRFORM.DOC, check the appropriate line, and
enclose your check.  Registration will put you on our mailing list
and you will be notified of updates, modifications, additions, etc.

SOFTWARE PROBLEMS

If you discover what you believe to be a problem with the software
on this disc, please let the author know.  Write the author at the
above address and provide as much information about the problem as
you can.  The author will make every effort to investigate and, if
the author finds it necessary, support each report.  If, in the
opinion of the author, you are the first to report a significant
problem with the AZ series of programs, you will be supplied with a
copy of the corrected program when it becomes available.  In return,
the author requests that you try the new software in your
environment and report any negative results.

Future Enhancements

The program function for which the most requests have been received
is a program to calculate the actual yield on loans and notes
receivable.  AZ4 and AZ5 both calculate only the theoretical yield.
The same program might also meet the requirements in some states for
a report to the maker (borrower) of a loan showing the exact
breakdown of the payments on the loan.  The program modules exist
for this function and are available to registered users as free
standing modules AZ8 and AZ9 for 'beta' test purposes only.

AZ8 calculates interest on loans from date paid to date paid in
accordance with the standard language found in most real estate notes.

AZ9 calculates the approximate yield on the purchase or sale of notes or
loans.
