Actual Argus Alternative
Hi guys - I'm privately a long-time lurker of this sub, and I occasionally see people posting about Argus. I've worked in commercial real estate for the last decade or so, have formal Argus training and experience, and have created countless Excel models for a wide variety of RE investments. Now, I'm working with a startup called [AssessRE](http://www.assessre.com), which is aiming to re-define the way people evaluate investments and create institutional-quality pro formas.


We just launched our open beta, and truly believe that we have created something that can replace Argus. It's been tested to require zero training, and it's totally cloud-based so there's nothing to download or install. It was developed by a former Columbia University financial modeling professor (whom I met while a grad student there), and very well may change the way you go about analyzing properties. Give it a try!
