Hi all, new user here so forgive me if this is the wrong place to post. I am being tasked with researching software for a CRE company that is fairly well established. It's being passed down from my friend's father to ...

It sounds like you are a very analytical person and it is good that you want to try and figure everything out but I think this will end up holding you back. 

There are numerous traditional and alternative inputs into credit models that are then using advanced data analytics and machine learning to drive credit decisions. 

My analytic software analyzes thousands of properties and usually returns a very short list of potentially good properties.

I've run a AirDNA report to get all the pricing/vacancy analytics.

Hi Dan -In the line of resources, for a more simple way to get some info on occ rates and going rates, you'll also want to check out something like www.airdna.co , which can give you a bit more comprehensive information on short term rental analytics... there's a free report which will probably be all that you'll need.I would add that when you're looking toward other listings to drill down a bit more, keep in mind that it can be difficult to get apples to apples comparisons, as the success of one listing over another depends often times more on the way it is managed than the amenities.  

Some people are more analytical and numbers driven, and some are more abstract and bigger picture focused.

"all models are wrong, some are useful" - holds true for many of the REI tools and analytical models.

There are a bunch of sources I use to cross reference each other (AxioMetrics, REIS, Real Capital Analytics, CB, etc.) but was curious to what else is out there to review.

Instead, one should continue to employ an analytical approach while being cognizant of its limitations.
