Douglas Rutherford is a nationally recognized CPA practicing in the real estate industry and creator of the Cash Flow Analyzer software. He wanted to market brand new software for investors to track a lucrative but little-known investment instrument called the Tax Lien Certificate. He turned to PST to develop the tracking application itself, called the Tax Lien Certificate Tracker. You can view details of the software, and even download a trial version, at www.TaxLienSoftware.com.

In addition, PST provided several enhancements, requested by Mr. Rutherford, for his flagship Landlord's Cash Flow Analyzer application, based on Microsoft Excel.  These enhancements include multiple mortgaging with ability to vary start/end dates, and improved goal-seeking capabilities.  The program has been endorsed recently by American Apartment Owners Association (AAOA) and is available at www.LandlordSoftware.com

Business Opportunity
Investors all over the U.S. & Canada have attended seminars on learning how to invest in tax lien certificates. However, materials included with these seminars did not include a practical application for investors to use to track certificate and county information. The need was for a software that would not only track the certificates information and performance, but also provide reminders to the investor on upcoming key dates, based on purchased certificates and certain due dates related to the tax authorities from which the investors purchased them.

Also, users of Landlord Cash Flow Analyzer have requested enhanced capabilities in the flagship application, such as including three mortgages (fixed and variable, with different start/end dates), and improved goal-seek functions.

Solution
PST developed the software that became the Tax Lien Certificate Tracker, using the latest Microsoft .NET technology, providing a solid application that does not depend on other expensive programs such as proprietary databases or spreadsheets. The program has its own built-in database, not requiring external licenses. PST developed the application, and TaxlienSoftware.com has full ownership of the software. It is now sold online, and it is packaged with certain investment seminars held throughout the U.S.

In addition, using Visual Basic for Applications and complex Excel formulas, PST provided the extended capabilities for Landlord's Cash Flow Analyser, giving our client a distinct advantage over the competition in this field.

Benefits

  • Client provides investors with much-needed software.
  • Client did not need extensive programming knowledge or experience.
  • Client owns all rights to the software.
