RedIQ advise from a new user
When I was looking to purchase RedIQ I saw a few posts on this forum asking about the product. I have only had it a week but would like to give some tips so far that I think will reduce frustration. When you purchase the program they are going to want to have three conference calls with you. The first, is an introduction between you and your Account Manager. Think of it as a getting to know each other. The second is a call with your Account Manager to go through the DataIQ which is the part where you upload your T-12 and rent roll(s). The third is a conference call to learn how to use the ValuationIQ which is used to model and underwrite the asset. The last two calls are mostly a waste of time since they are separate. The most frustrating part is that on the call to learn the ValuationIQ you are on it with other people and you are muted so you can not ask questions. You can only ask questions by typing them in and maybe the presenter will give you a brief answer and there is no time at the end to ask questions. It is a one hour webinar where he flies through the process and stumbles over himself if you deal with Chase. My advise to you is to request one call that is one on one so you can go through the entire process in real-time and ask questions. I also advise that you send your Account Manager a rent roll and T-12 to work with so you are not having to watch them use a rr and T12 that they have already manipulated. I hope this saves you the time and frustration that it would have saved me. Other that this it, so far, is a great tool and I would advise anyone to look in to it.

They do a full, comprehensive walk through that I would suggest you do if the product is of interest to you. DataIQ is amazing for rent roll and P&amp;L analysis and the reports it can build are awesome. I don't know what you use to model and underwrite but I was using an Excel spreadsheet that has been built on for over 20 years. ValuationIQ provided me with a solution that doesn't fuck up all the time and provides me with a load of convenience and user friendly analysis for my acquisitions. Going through the webinar with them is far more beneficial than me trying to explain it to you but the convenience is amazing. Definitely not a scam.", "replies": [{"id": "e44lvdf", "text": "ValuationIQ just screams scam.  Can you quickly articulate exactly what it is supposed to do and how it does it?  Probably not.  If you can't analyze a rent roll or a P&amp;L you probably shouldn't be investing.  Don't be fooled by fancy graphs.", "replies": [], "depth": 3}], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}]
