Net Gain Real Estate (NGRE) is dedicated to providing independent, value-added commercial real estate investing information and analysis at no cost. The primary goal of NGRE is to minimize the risk while maximizing the rate of return on investment (ROI) for income property investors. The secondary goal is to furnish serviceable information for all parties involved in the commercial real estate investing process. NGRE has created four products to achieve these goals.

1. Essays: NGRE authors biweekly essays that focus on contemporary issues that affect commercial real estate investing. The essays cover the crucial, "bottom-line" elements of income property investment. This original information was forged in the crucible of real world experience and timeless business principles, and cannot be found anywhere else on the Internet. The essays provides a broad informative overview.
2. National Income Property Index (NIPI)™ - Cap Rate Recommendations: NGRE believes that the basis for determining income property value is the capitalization rate (cap rate). The cap rate is the truest financial summary of an income property’s potential risk and/or appreciation. NIPI uses a formula that incorporates interest rates and unemployment rates for recommending realistic capitalization rates. The recommendations are monthly with NIPI editorial updates. NIPI is a critical tool for determining and negotiating a fair price for the purchase, sale or appraisal validation of a commercial real estate investment.
3. Economic Valuation System (EVS)™ - Income Property Valuation: EVS is the most comprehensive due diligence checklist on the Internet. Using 122 criteria broken into seven indispensable categories, EVS offers a proactive evaluation of a commercial real estate investment. EVS concludes your input with specific buy/hold/sell recommendations. EVS is the pathway to identifying and determining the extent of an income property’s future problems and potential possibilities.
4. Question and Answer Section (Q&A): Biweekly NGRE selects three questions that have contemporary relevance to commercial real estate investing. The answers are unbiased, instructive and consistent with NGRE’s primary and secondary goals.
