This might just be their algorithm attributing the local area's zip code appreciation to this particular property though and it may not translate well to this home, so I definitely take it with a grain of salt.Financing: Do you have any recommendations for people I can reach out to who may be able to offer financing for a single wide manufactured home on its own land?

Figure algorithm for market value is VERY conservative so it ends up killing most deals.

I used to work at MIT on machine learning algorithms and decision support tools.

I don't understand the underlying system aside from that they already know the exact fingerprint of that lock, and the codes that function in that lock are generated by an algorithm they know before shipping it, so somehow they can provide the code that is correct for the time that is correct.

Algorithms can't replace true understanding.

Even if it did, Craigslist change their algorithms very often so I'm sure it would have bugs.  

Processing is via my own algorithms implemented in PHP/MySQL, output consists of parcel/owner/other metrics where many fields are just from tax records or derivatives of parameters I specified in the search.

But that said, SEO is NOT a scam, and IF you follow the guidelines and understand the Google patent/algorithm, you can actually win the battle for leads.

Google as well as other search engines have complex algorithms that take into account different factors.

For example, develop a way for your search algorithm to access existing proprietary databases and how to monetize this process.
