Can anyone provide recommendations on searchable public records data providers that cater to individual investors? 

Join me as we embark on a journey through the data jungle of January 2024, where every statistic tells a story and every trend holds a promise.

What types of data points would you be collecting? 

If it's a property that we intend to hold and the market data shows that the average property sold above the list price within the last 6 months, we may go above the list, but we will not go above the target we've set for our business. 

The OTAs aren’t going to give them to you so use a data collection system like Emailcollect that will do it for you.

Some folks will give up the premium lake front to save a few bucks.This data will give you a broader perspective on the market and help with the rates.

@Alex ForestThis is great idea... shop for a PM and gather data on the rental market at the same time.

Ask uncle James and uncle Engelo on 10+ years of data… 

The price/rent/location ratios are hard to beat, and they work.Purchase: $80k-$130kRent: $1200-$1500ROI: Double DigitCash flow: couple hundred/monthAppreciation: Double digit (for past 10 years, will gladly send data)Location: C, B- (suburbs and certain markets)We have over a dozen Fortune 500 companies just in Metro Detroit with huge Healthcare and Auto industries.

Example, if my data suggests the market appreciated 10% since a comp sold, I will then adjust that comp up 10% for differing market conditions.
