Hey Matt, Not sure if you're familiar with AirDNA but they are my go to for understanding short term market data. it's a paid service but the data you get from this is pretty invaluable in my opinion. here is a search I did based on Wrigley Field: https://www.airdna.co/vacation...Hope this helps and best of luck 🤝🍀

Algorithms are great with black and white data (bedrooms, baths, sqft, pool, etc) but understanding the grey area is what'll build your confidence. 3.

Hi guys I’m a rookie at this and I have spoken to an agent before I make an offer tomorrow I want to cross my T’s and dot my i’s.. in the brrrr calculator I have a favorable report, however I want to make sure I’m inputing the data correctly, in the section that has where you put the cash option (& im using hard money) do I click the button and input cash purchase and then the refi after ?

@Patrick Fraire, data shows otherwise.

Howdy yall, I was just wondering what platforms do you guys use as data to make informed real estate decisions.

as a landlord,  i need the application data in order to know who lives in the house, if they dont pay the rent, i can contact eviction company and maybe do collection after judgment.

> Airdna had one I believe they retired (not Market Minder ... forgot the name - plotted a bunch of triangles in a matrix)> Mashvisor currently offers a heatmap feature for "Airbnb COC return" - cumbersome, but you can manually scroll across the US and look for green areas while pulling your hair out every time their interface freezes> I'm actually beta testing a new platform a company called STR Insights is launching that displays the same data in table form with a map feature as a bonus to double click into individual markets and see where high performing listings are locatedAll 3 are essentially doing the same thing: comparing average STR revenues (scraped from Airbnb/VRBO) to average home prices (scraped from Zillow, etc.) and converting them into a ratio.

I totally agree w/above, focus on your database, upload contacts, clean up the data, & then start going through that to get your word out that you are an agent. 

We have found that the calculators on BP are pretty much spot on as long as you put in good data and have used them on several property purchases.So the question is, if you run the numbers and the analysis shows a negative cash flow, what is the basis for buying that property? 

How much data you can pull for free from the county website depends on the county.
