@Alec DresslerYou’re on the right track using tools like AirDNA, but for better data, consider the paid version or platforms like Mashvisor for detailed rental analytics.

Remington, I own properties in Athens and while the data/statistics/analytics might look great - there are many challenges with actual operations. 

I can utilize their list building feature, skip trace, manage my pipeline of deals, send out my marketing and utilize their analytics to maximize my marketing dollars all in one place.

My professional background is data science / analytics, which means analyzing cash flows will probably come more naturally than building relationships, which apparently, is how one finds deals worth making.Are there meetups in these areas I should attend (digitally at first, presumably)? 

Paid platforms often offer additional features like market analytics, off-market property leads, and filters for investor-specific criteria, giving them a leg up over free options.Exactly, most platforms have to offset cost somewhere because of how expensive it is to keep the data up to date.

This helps reduce operational costs and increase efficiencies, hopefully giving the landlord back time to spend on other areas of the business.Market Trend Predictive Analytics: There are AI algorithms that can analyze large amounts of data in order to predict property values and future market trends.

This are just examples to wet your mind on analytical thinking.Make sure you know how to handle data.

@Jon Holdman, for your analytical mind and openly sharing with people if their deal is a good one or a bad one....

If you have online campaigns, use analytics to track your clicks.
