Abstract:
1. A method of managing a portfolio of real estate, the method comprising: storing, in a computer system, a database containing performance measure data regarding performance measures of a plurality of real estate properties; inputting into the computer system a plurality of performance measure constraints; generating, by the computer system processor executing instructions stored on a storage device, a set of equations based on said plurality of performance measure constraints, said equations including a plurality of variables, each of said variables corresponding to a respective one of said real estate properties, each of said variables to be assigned a value from a group of values, said group of values including at least two values, one of said two values indicative of a recommendation to take an action with respect to a one of said real estate properties that corresponds to a respective one of said variables, another of said two values indicative of a recommendation to take another action with respect to said one of said real estate properties; and solving, by the computer system, the set of equations that generate one or more of a plurality of solutions that satisfy said performance measure constraints; inputting into the computer system an optimization goal; evaluating, by the computer system, said plurality of solutions that identify at least one of said solutions, said one of said solutions being optimal relative to said optimization goal; and presenting, by the computer system, said identified solution as a recommended decision relative to taking said actions with respect to said real estate properties; wherein: each equation of said set of equations is in a form as indicated below: where: M represents a performance measure to which a respective one of the performance measure constraints applies, with M M M and x wherein x
