“Mastering DYNA^ä with the 3 T’s”

Chicago, IL – James Pettinger, Executive Vice President of Realogic Analytics, Inc., provided a detailed and in-depth discussion and review of DYNA to the real estate professionals attending the Eastern Regional NCREIF Winter Conference meeting. This 2 day event was attended by 165 real estate professionals and focused on commercial real estate valuations.

According to Jim Pettinger, “When asked to make a presentation on DYNA, I jumped at the chance. Many professionals think that DYNA isn’t the right solution for them, when actually it’s added functionality may be the perfect solution. Dyna can APPPEAR to be more difficult to use than other DCF software, but it’s added functionality and structure can actually make it easier .”

The seminar then focused on some of DYNA’s strengths:

»      Multiple property consolidations at detailed level,
»      High level of portfolio sensitivity analysis,
»      Structured debt and equity structure,
»      Tax and book cash flow projections/returns,
»      REALMBudget,
»      Excellent retail functionality,
»      Resides natively in relational database,
»      Excellent data migration capabilities.

Mr. Pettinger cautioned that there’s a few necessary steps that are needed before working in the program. “Based on our extensive usage of Dynaä, we’ve concluded that the necessary steps are: Training, Timing and Templates. At Realogic, we call this,

“The 3 T’s of Dyna.”

Training – Eliminate the “misconception” of Dyna’s complexity by understanding the file structure. It’s highly recommended even if you have experience with other dcf software.

Timing – Use Dyna’s excellent data migration features to reduce data redundancy.

Templates – Dyna‘s template driven format actually makes it easier to maintain files and it creates efficiencies by eliminating errors.

“The conference was well planned out and very productive”, according to Jim Pettinger. A lot of people had great questions and concerns about their current or potential Dynaä usage. Hopefully, with the information presented during the seminar, the attendees have a clearer understanding and appreciation of Dynaä.
