Experienced Real Estate Investor Builds New Technology and Looking for Feedback

[JD Cohen]

Hey Bigger Pockets,

I've been a commercial broker for a decade now at a big four firm, doing leasing and some capital markets work. 

about 5 years ago I started a CRE PE company buying up multi, mixed use, and other value add deals. today, i would consider myself a broker + principal

as great as syndication is - i still had the desire to buy a new dog **** house every year personally as a long term wealth building strategy with no partners and where i could use it as I pleased if i so wished or do short term rental when i wasn't there 

I found it very hard to source deals in the market I was interested in scaling in for this use case. 

i had success speaking with the sons and daughters of deceased property owners that I found off the obituaries list but this was tedious to actually get to the heirs and find their contact information.

Long story short, i created an algorithm and software that automates this processes and will be rolling it out soon! the entire front and back end is built and it works.

i chose New York, Texas, Florida, PA, and New Jersey as my first markets with the intention of selling these leads to brokers, wholesalers, and investors.

I'm looking for a couple more beta testers in Florida and Texas and maybe PA , and one more in NJ to beta test this tool for free for a couple of months.

thanks,

-JD
