They don't know the landscape but have 15 analytical spread sheets, sophisticated cap rate algorithms  and  every guru's investing handbook in their library.

It has an algorithm that takes into account general sales in the area an other factors like public data.It has no idea if someone has a quartz counter or Formica.

And don't forget that Zillow calculates value using an automated algorithm that will never replace human perception and local market knowledge.

Googles algorithme favours lot's of words, high quality and clean sites. 

Some of the algorithms used to forecast and analyze predicted patterns are truly amazing.

I was just curious, what is the algorithm for the Bigger Pockets Average Post Score?

Mindy is NOT a top contributor at this moment in other forums like "Landlord forums and rental property questions" - she doesn't post quite as frequently as other folks in those forums.While we don't want people to "game" the system by giving away the algorithm that calculates these scores, understand the scores factor in the number of posts one has in a specific forum and the number of votes that one receives on their posts in that forum.

@Matt Grubb I have found the algorithm to be somewhat unreliable depending on the area.

There is no way for an algorithm to know that.

The meetup algorithm will suggest similar others, and over time as you attend several over, say, the next few months, you'll find a few that you really connect with and will be in your permanent rotation.
