I also know the internet is fleeting, and while we may do well today, Google's algorithms and a million other things could change up the game tomorrow.I have most of my cash invested in my current businesses, but I'm at the point where I'm looking for my next path.  

Zillow just runs an algorithm and doesn't really know the true worth (up or down) of the property. 

The Zillow algorithm doesn't take into account "ocean front" versus "across the street".  

Agree with David,The algorithm that calculates your score understands that if you get your credit pulled by a bank for a mortgage you'll likely shop around as well so it doesn't hurt you to have your credit pulled several times by mortgage companies in a short period of time (30 days sounds right).

I was under the impression that multiple credit inquiries in a short period of time from similar lenders, mortgage brokers for instance, would be viewed by the credit reporting agencies as "rate shopping" and the algorithm would not hit your credit the same as applying for multiple credit cards for instance.

The best investment these institutions can make is seeking out and contracting with firms like ours to acquire high-quality assets matching the algorithms and matrices  each company needs.The institutional business of owning rental houses is here to stay.

For the most part (generalizing here) the assessments are based on a computer algorithm.  

They have an algorithm that tells you the best companies to apply for to gain credit and they help you navigate to find the best ones.
