Hey Elijah, Utilizing MLS access for comps is the most reliable method, but if it's not available, you can still utilize the parameters Jonathan mentioned on other platforms like Zillow, Propstream, and Batchleads.

Where/what platform do my fellow investors like to acquire alternate assets?

"Consumer Electronic File Storage": $25 [this seems like a bs addon]L.

@Natalia Davis I believe Zelle and Venmo and such platforms now have to keep track of payments beyond $600.

Avail, Apartments.com, Buildium, RentRedi, and several other platforms allow you to make leases that can be signed online electronically and also will then collect rent through their portal. 

You can find reliable lease agreement templates through legal platforms like Rocket Lawyer or LawDepot.

Crexi Pro has added features to their platform and the data is getting better, but it's no Costar yet.

You might have an easier time buying a parcel and subdividing it into residential and commercial lots, then proposing the commercial use variance just for the commercial lot.Doing all of this research on your client's behalf is mighty generous and very time consuming for you.

Platforms like Reonomy or ProspectNow can help you find potential borrowers and properties efficiently.

We (try to) explain and caution people On every platform we have (including on our website for everyone to read).
