One thing I will say about NOT using software for your first property however, is that you will understand the individual platforms much better by directly interacting with them, so keep that in mind as well. 

My goal is to create a platform in real estate that can run autonomously without me, or with little time.

I've considered accountability partners for quite some time and would finally like to dedicate time to a group of like-minded individuals attempting to achieve similar goals.

Both platforms offered a $200-ish/mo and $400-ish/mo package for my market, and both appear to provide pretty insanely detailed info, and both require an annual membership.

I've been waiting year and half just to find a right property for a 1% where I could possible live for sometime too but as we know those don't exist in this market and if any pops up here and there are completely dedicated as rental property that I am not possibly ready to occupy as well.

Zillow is a platform to sell advertising to real estate agents.

And thank you Bigger Pockets for giving me this platform to speak, so I don’t drive my wife crazy lol.

If not, just move on to a more dedicated agent.

The platform leaves a bit to be desired, but definitely fits the cheap criteria :) 

I use multiple online platforms for different things.
