I'm data driven and would love to immerse myself in IL, AL, MC specific property, demographic and investor-centric data sources the same way I've done in my previous area of focus.

No data company is 100%.

I’m exploring ways to automate my deal analysis process and was wondering:1.Is there a way to programmatically pull MLS data?

@Abrahm Dimmitt,PropStream has a lot more data in it. 

Where to get the most recent and accurate data for things like:Unemployment dataPopulation growthJob diversity and top employers in the areaVacancy rates (eg huduser.org)Property taxes and jnsurance costsI saw bp pro and reventure and a bunch of other websites provide some of this data, but i wonder how accurate and recent it is.

UW is only as good as the numbers that are entered into the data cells. 

Based on our data, it. takes several hundred calls to even get an appointment. 

I set my rent standards a little high and realized that rent is actually not that high.. we have a morgage on it and it looks like the house is selling for more than we originally paid 4 years ago.

The data they pull from the tax records on how much a home last sold for, often not updated, or completely wrong.

I used CSV's to import data that I needed into RM.
