Would you get more value out of using your time for another pursuit?

With that said you can still access financing at high loan to values on a conventional loan. 

I think that search is useful only when PRO..for me it shows no value as I am not a pro

You don't want your money to be lost if the property's value is more in the improvements and not land value.

They are typically used for transitional or value-add properties and have higher interest rates and shorter terms compared to traditional mortgages.Construction Loans: Construction loans provide financing for the ground-up construction or substantial renovation of commercial properties, such as office buildings, retail centers, or multifamily developments.

Prior to house hunting it would be best to work with a lender in getting pre-approved to have your financials reviewed so you know the maximum price point you can start a property search around. 

But by no means this post was aimed at anyone who has their heart at the right spot and provides genuine value to someone who does not want to get started alone. 

Obviously that's not the full story...I'm Canadian/Floridan by WAY of California..just kidding The reality is that the value of the Oregon Coast is enticing whether the intended use is for STR or not.

This affects the value of the property along with your financing.

It's something Jerry Norton released recently to the public to pull data.Did some quick data comparisons for fun between 2 other platforms I currently use - PropStream and MLS (I'm licensed in Florida)I specifically searched for a handful of On-Market properties (active/closed transactions) and noticed the following:- You can't search for specific properties on PropWire- PropWire data isn't up to date (30+ day discrepancy) compared to PropStream; neither is up to date compared to MLS (3rd party data providers hardly ever are)- PropWire estimated value vastly different from PropStream value (50k+ difference in most instances)- No property photos (yet)Initial thoughts: It's a brand new tool and can't imagine it was gonna be great out of the gate.
