I’m building a tech solution that should drive more buyer leads to an agent’s pipeline. But to build this I will need access to NAR APIs. Is there any developer here who can share their experience building with the AP...

I have been playing the multifamily game for almost 10 years now, and the GRM is one of my least favorite methods personally since it ignores so many important factors (steam boiler versus electric baseboard heat as an example). 

I’ve seen situations like this before, and keeping control of the contracts has always been the better play.

I've been doing research into this company for months and I've come to the conclusion that the company is NOT legitimate.

You can only play games for so long.Chances are your next door neighbor is an IRS agent and turns you in when your tenants blocks their drive or some other random event disturbing your IRS neighbor.ADU catches fire and your insurance won't cover you, because it was an illegal and unpermitted structure.The city inspector told the last guy not to build or rent it, and is now pissed and wants to make an example of you and just red tags the whole property and no one can occupy for the next 1-2-3 years while you wait for a hearing.Then when you get the hearing, "staff" recommends you tear the whole structure down, and if you still want an ADU, you can apply for a permit and rebuild it.Your tenant quits paying rent and won't move out and you can't evict them, because there is no valid lease and they're just your "roommate".Probably a dozen other bad things can happen to you when you do stuff like this. 

Amortization length along with any DSCR requirements comes into play also to determine what kind of down payment requirement you may have to meet. 

This plays into your relationship with the contractor - and I can tell you first hand that most investors don't want to sacrifice any of them.

@Justin Jefferson first, some cold realty - you're about as likely to play in the NFL as you are to retire via real estate in 4 years.Are they both possible?

Hence you can see how interest rates play a large role in determining cap rates in a market in my opinion. 

For our next play we want to get into a single or multi-family, and preferably participate in what seems like a booming market in Florida.
