Neat idea. I can see if I can update that. The rent is calculated from the zillow estimates.

I don't a way to sort but are there anything else that you think might be interesting?

Hello folks,

Wanted to get some of the key criteria folks use in evaluation whether a deal is good or no. I for one built a simple chrome extension to see if the mortgage is less than rent and accordingly provide that information on every zillow listing page. Here is an example

Please let me know if there are any feature which you think might be useful and would like me to add to the extension.

As the title suggests. How are you using social media for lead generation or in general how are you using social media?

1) Do you do it yourself?

2) How much time do you spend every week?

Hello BiggerPockets,

Do any of you folks use census data like demographics, income, population , education etc in selecting a property or do you think it’s an overkill.

Given 2020 census data will be accessible soon curious to see how the community is using it.

Hello BiggerPockets,

With covid and change in how people think about work. What are the best places to buy a property within next 3 months horizon.

I have around 40k for down payment and got my primary house refinanced. I am saving around $1000 with the refinance and want to use that amount for buying a new property.

Goals: it’s going to be a buy and hold. Don’t need money from that property for next 10 to 15 years. Only requirement is I don’t want to

Lose money on that property every month.

I live in Bay Area California.

Slightly inclined towards property which would appreciate more.

@Michael King simple calculator. Got to know more about the possibilities of google sheets and exploring as to what can be done.

@Scott Mac if you don't mind sharing what are the exact use cases for QuickBooks and Acrobat addons?

How are you using spreadsheets to be effective and getting your job done?

  • Are there any addons or macros you use.
  • What specific type of task is useful and saves you time.
  • Spreadsheets: Google spreadsheets or Microsoft excel
  • If you had a magic wand what specific workflow do you want to be automated?

Probably not useful in all context. But I do see QR Code making a comeback as the native platforms are supporting QR Code reading functionality.
