Using Costar to find and evaluate multifamily commercial properties

[Howie Baker]

Hey BP'ers,

I had a meeting with a CoStar rep today, product looks great, lots of analytics, bells and whistles, I was told there will be a new analytic tool just for multifamily properties that will make it very easy to tell if it is a deal or no deal. The price per month is steep $395 plus a set up fee. Does anyone use this product and can they comment on its value. I do have the Loopnet Pro membership but it still seems very superficial for information. I would greatly appreciate any insight.
