If there was ever a time for the "uber" or "air bob" of Real Estate Brokerages to make a big move and take over the industry, now would be the time.  

Hi All,I am pretty new in the real estate industry and I have recently closed my first deal.I have noticed that I spent a lot of time during the deal evaluations between: - calculating the estimated rents- checking property taxes- neighborhood: vacancy rate, crime, eviction rate, etc- average property management fees- average repair costs- mortgage rates- condition of the property/repairs needed for rent readiness- etcI have a spreadsheet where I capture all the above in order to calculate the potential ROI (leveraged and not) but doing this for a lot of properties is pretty time consuming.Most of the information above can also be easily found online by various means and this information could potentially be ingested by online services.Does anyone know an online tool that would calculate estimated property ROIs with up to date/real information and potentially offer a property search based on ROI?

Seller has a 1/4 acre lot with garages and office and open area for his construction equipment. As the site generates no income and has no rent roll.  How does one estimate it's worth?

That means probably service industry type employment for tenants.

I don't know about you guys but working from home for last 3 weeks I WANT to go into an office soon : ) Since every single REIT dropped in price (other than cell phone antenna holders, data centers and industrial) you kind of have your pick amongst which ones will recover the most. 

If you are not near the airport and not in the airline industry it wont be easy 

I once looked into a similar kind of project in NorCal and discovered that the city fees to get utilities on site (water meters at street, electrical transformers, ect) were in a certain range depending on the unit mix.

I learned how to choose paint, flooring, fixtures and transform a pool from completely black to sparkling blue.

Car salesmen do amazingly well in the RE industry - we know how to hustle and survive off commission only... we don’t close, we don’t eat!
