Market Dynamics: The current oversupply of (STRs) in some markets is better understood as a market correction rather than a sign of impending collapse.

Seeking advice from a local real estate agent or financial adviser may also prove beneficial, as they may offer valuable insights into the unique market dynamics and investment prospects in Philadelphia and Los Angeles.

While there's no shortage of options out there,as you mentioned, such as PropStream, DealCheck, REI Simpli, and Podio, the aim is to stand out by honing in on what really matters to investors: ROI, value, performance, efficiency, and possibly price.Expanding on what matters as outlined earlier, here are my assumptions regarding what investors might require if I were to launch a product today:User-Friendly Experience: A platform that feels like second nature to real estate investors, with intuitive design and features that make life easier.All-in-One Solutions: A toolbox stacked with everything necessary for successful investing—from finding leads to analyzing deals and managing properties.Seamless Integration: Make workflow smoother by seamlessly connecting with other essential tools and platforms you rely on.Insightful Analytics: Next-level decision-making with advanced analytics and data visualization that help you optimize investment strategies.Now, the challenge lies in the fact that every investor is unique, and the features might be excessive if they don't offer genuine value.

@Michael AdamoPhoenix's real estate market is dynamic, and under the appropriate circumstances, house hacking might prove to be an effective strategy.

I think my position is a bit more complex than your average investor since:1) I am brand new and have been shopping for a good CPA to no avail for a month.2) I need to shelter risky assets as best as possible (which may include anonymity)3) I am looking to aggressively expand over the next 12 months into different states for short-term rentals, which have volatile regulations.4) My expected income for 2018 has a very wide band thus leaving room for the need for constant advice and dynamic planningThanks so much for any thoughts.

Because I saw demand increasing, I decided to seize the opportunity by improving my properties (I went on a tear of cosmetic rehabs, and now my properties are the best in their class, which is allowing me to maximize my rents further and capitalize on the demand)...but, meanwhile, all we hear from the large multifam operators is that their rents are decreasing (I've also seen repots that large multifam supply is becoming over-saturated in some markets)...So, rents increasing in single fam/small multifam, and rents decreasing in large multifam--is that the dynamic folks are seeing in their markets? 

I definitely agree that there are a ton of great resources to read and view written (and visual) material about flipping and real estate investing in general — Bigger Pockets is probably the best example in real estate of just how much information you can obtain for free nowadays and don’t even need to pay the $50 on e-bay.

@Jen Pothilat this website has a good visual of where all of the zip codes are: http://www.zipmap.net/Missouri/Jackson_County/Kans...

The acceleration of low rates has faded and we find ourselves similar to our previous norm for growth.I don't pretend to possess a crystal ball, no investor or agent could, but drawing on my experience in the daily dynamics of the market here in Raleigh, and looking at the facts, a price drop seems unlikely in the next few years.

Be an agent (listing specifically)Great at analytics, visuals and garnering insights?
