LISTEN TO THE EXPERTS!! We were told over and over. “But 100% of the ‘experts’ say rent control doesn’t work”. SHUT UP! They say.    

Why wouldn’t you start with food control?

How big was the price discprencency. What was their number vs actual number

6 figures-

There are companies with billions of dollars in war chests doing this all the time. There is no reason to think that this will help you invest in real estate. You are basically trying to take the real estate out of real estate.

Predictive analytics are best used as guides to the work. You sound (I could be wrong, but probably not) like you want to use your background to eliminate some of the guesswork, but real estate investing is learned by being at properties, talking with other investors, going to meetups, etc.

Predictive data for investors is wholly flawed because it can't see inside of the houses.

OK here is what the state of Oregon is protecting the public from..  out our way these letters are usually far more than letters they can be a bound booklet.. with pictures of the family  the family dog  the family parrott  pics of their kids at the beach etc etc.. long flowing letters. 

What this state determined and others have as well is you have a situation ripe for discrimination.

you have 10 offers..  you have 10 letters with accompanying picture booklet..  you have one Asian family  one pacific islander family one black family one indigenous people family one Hispanic family and one white family.  the state is worried that the seller will have a bias against one of those and pick another simply based on race..  You know the poor Asians in big cities getting attacked in the middle of the day right on the street so someone may have a bias there and wont sell to them.  This is why they are now forbidden to be used by REAL ESTATE AGENTS  I suspect private party no licensed agents involved can do what ever they please in this regard.

Also you probably heard that the Master bedroom now for agents must be referred to as the primary..  Although in Canada it was/is the Ensuite room. 

and even here on Biggerpockets one lady got on about how she is lobbying in the state of Indiana to have the term Landlord removed from the vernacular and replace with  ( Housing Provider)  the thought being Landlord denotes Lord of the land and superiority over the tenant I guess is the point.  On that thread most Landlords ( Housing providers) disagreed with her thought process and though to spend money lobbying this was not warranted. Real Estate has officially entered uber PC and woke issues. :)
