Automated MLS Email Suggestions

[Josiah Stacy]

I love the convenience of getting automated MLS alerts from my agent when new properties are listed or prices change, etc., but I seem to have trouble communicating to my agent exactly what criteria I want sent to my inbox. I try saying things like this zip code, that many bedrooms, etc, but agents still seem to be flooding my box with properties way off from what I'm seeking.

Can you offer suggestions as to what MLS automated alerts have yielded good results for investors? I understand it's a broad question, but I'm looking for broad feedback, too.
