Invest in a monthly subscription to PropStream, which will give you access to MLS data, county data, and so much more.

Keep the comparable data just in case.

I wanted to see if folks had feedback on how the market is doing this year… looking at AirDna (obviously historical data) , it seems like my numbers will work out.

Data said one thing, reality another

Some lenders conduct internal soft pulls and don’t release reports because it’s just an “inquiry” others will do full hard pulls with Factual Data or Xactus for example and those generally are full hard reports that can be shared (should be at least..)

The data is 5 years old but hasn't changed significantly.

To add to what @Jonathan Greene wrote:1) Understanding the local market, so you know what Neighborhood Class your building is located in, what Class your Building is (condition & amenities), and what corresponding class of tenants will be attracted.2) Using all this data to properly set your expectations and a realistic ROI.3) How to better screen prospective tenants, including catching fraud, so your property performs better.

I like the Share Group for skip tracing, its not cheap, but great data is worth gold.

You can't judge an area solely on crime rate and employment and salary data, but it certainly helps.

Even though I know I could get that back quickly even as a passive lender I'm nervous with the lack of data on the opportunity set.
