Although ProAPOD has been a leading real estate investment software provider to real estate agents and investors since 2000, it has not had (until now) a “Canadian-friendly” version of its software. ProAPOD 6.0 has just been updated and now includes “semi-annual” compounding (the compounding period used to calculate loan payments in Canada).
The main difference between a US and Canadian mortgage is the compound period. Whereas the compound period for US mortgages are monthly, Canadian mortgages are semi-annual. This difference results in a slightly lower monthly mortgage payment for Canadians.
Take for example, a loan amount of $100,000 at 7.00% interest rate amortized over 25 years. The monthly mortgage payment is $706.78 when compounded monthly (as in US mortgages), and $700.42 when compounded semi-annually (as in Canadian mortgages).
How it Works in the Software
After the user opens the V.6.0 real estate investment software, he or she simply opens the loan form and under the heading Type of Compounding, selects either “Monthly (USA)” or “Semi-annually (Canada)“. ProAPOD does the rest. All the monthly and annual mortgage payment calculations used throughout the real estate analysis from that point forward reflects the compounding period selected by the user.
