Unfortunately, Covid decided to change my plans, and I made the decision to hold off, in hindsight it was a huge mistake and no one could have imagined that property values could have increased at such a high rate.

However I have used some of apifys scrapers (for non real estate uses) and was highly satisfied with the value for the price: https://apify.com/tri_angle/redfin-search It looks like it’s for listed properties only?

It is all about adding value and improving cash-on-cash returns.It is also worth checking market trends to see the year-over-year growth rate and run a pro forma to project how much appreciation and rental income increases you might see over time.Your savings and financial discipline put you in a great spot, and I would just encourage you to explore how you can make your money work harder for you instead of locking it all into one property.

If a home was previusly owned and lived in by a famous person, does it add much value? 

As such, your success will come from knowing the nuances of the market and where you can drive value/achieve strong returns. 

Do they have any reviews?

We’re focusing more on quick flips that match our strengths and allow us to continue delivering value to the community.This post is a reminder that every project teaches us something, and we’re always learning to better serve our buyers and sellers.

Pick a place you can add value.  

I have a house where the information bubble (assessment, stats, value) is a house two blocks away, even shows a street view picture.

If you're $400 BELOW market value it's killing you slowly you just don't know it yet.
