Then it was LinkedIn and now Indeed is the most popular and you hear all sorts of fun about predictive algorithms telling people what candidates are going to the best and/or most interested in your open position. 

Another thing - I never count on rentometer/Zestimate algorithms to determine rent.

Your credit score or specifically the one that Lenders use is the FICO which is an independent entity that uses its in-house algorithm to determine your credit score using the information obtained from each credit bureau.

The algorithm pulls from public data averaged across all properties in an area.

Zillow describes its method of creating a Zestimate as drawing on public records and a proprietary algorithm.

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.
