Zillow's API is no longer offered (or they make it extremely hard to access these days - have had no luck finding an updated link/page for it), Redfin has broad-stroke CSVs you can download that only give 5-10 fields of info and not often at the metro area, you can't legally create a tool to crawl these websites...I'm looking for 1 (or a handful of sources) to pull together basic metrics at the metro/city level for US real estate.

Being in the STR space, it has been really good crafting descriptions and auto messages that can be used to create a listing on airbnb, your own website and guest communication messages

Hello Ryan if you are still looking for a DSCR lender in Texas please let me know and I would be happy to connect you to a few on the website.

I'm happy to connect and help answer any questions or give you further guidance on books, podcasts, websites, etc.Also, I'm launching a book soon about being a professional and competent real estate agent. 

So, a few questions for those that have been around the block:What websites and resources are you using to find properties?

Check the fannie mae website to confirm property qualifications.

Scroll down the page and look for cities above the line for good performance.https://www.airdna.co/blog/best-places-to-buy-a-va...A word of warning - from someone who’s spent waaayyyy too long playing around on the AirDNA web site: they measure profit as revenue minus mortgage.In many cities, a large chunk of the high airbnb revenues come from very specific highly desirable properties in highly desirable areas (e.g., baller properties that are downtown or oceanfront or lakefront, etc).

If there isn't one website or source, what is another method other than looking at the competitors?

Ofcourse they have certain rules , some of which I might agree , some I might not , but at the end of the day , that is the case in every aspect of real estate investing .Anyway , I have researched extensively on using construction loans , and am doing a rehab with that approach , learnt a ton of stuff - If you ever consider that route , dont hesitate to get in touch via BP - I can review my notes and perhaps give some pointersThe first page on this website says "NO surprises" lol.

We have plugged in a few deals and made it work but they were all on the HudHomes website and most don't even have contact information.
