Hey there! Thinking about going to grad school and was wanting to get opinions on calcs.
So far I've seen the HP 10BII:  and the Texas Instruments model BAII plus:  Any suggestions? I will be doing real estate analysis in my coursework. Thanks in advance! |

In my grad FIN class the HP 10BII was required.
Where are you getting your MBA from? I went to Texas State at San Marcos because I was a slack ass in my undergraduate. |

It is actually a Masters of Science in Real Estate Analysis from UNT in Denton. |

I have a TI-84 Plus Silver Edition and like it very much. YMMV

There is absolutely no reason to use anything except for the HP 12c

I have one of those (as do almost all of the actuaries where I work) but prefer the TI BAII+ just because it was the required calculator for the actuarial exams and is what I'm used to. |

Either will work fine for what you are doing. The HP seems more popular and that's what I use, but they both do the same stuff.
The HP has rubber grippy corners and a mighty fine pleather case. The TI has a hard shell that slips on as a cover. The TI is a nice poop brown. Just helping you to make an educated decision.

Unless your brain works algebraically, and not in Reverse Polish Notation. I find that most people adapt to the 17 B II more quickly than to the 12 c. But if you are a purist, you can run the 17 B in a RPN mode. I prefer the HP 17 B II. In fact, I have not been without one ( I'm on my second, first one finally gave up the ghost after 10 years) for 16 years. The 17 B II has a program function, where you can input your own equations, and will do cash flow calculations, Present value calculations, and statistics/Math calculator functions. The users manual that comes with the calculator has some of the best cash flow and time value of money explanations I have ever read... and I am definitely a finance weenie.  |

Also -
If you are doing a lot of Real Estate Analysis, make sure your "Excel"- Fu is strong. You will be a spreadsheet monkey. Most of the real estate guys I know use their own, personally developed models to review their investment decisions. |
