Would love to connect with like-minded individuals and hunt down RE deals.

It would have to come from an individual.

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.

You might benefit from having a co-host to handle the reservations, guest communication, etc. but your onsite, long term PM can handle maintenance requests and other work that requires onsite management

They can red tag it and require all 5 inspections to get a Certificate of Occupancy. 

Do you require a lien release for work performed?

Also, told me money is not an issue but in the same breath asked if they could give less than 3 month's rent to move in (I had already explained the requirements). 

The individual is deeply entrenched in his beliefs and has stated his unwillingness to vacate the property.Legal eviction proceedings are underway, and we have a scheduled date in the near future.

Take in-place leases and expenses, forecast stabilized rents and expenses, understand the financing requirements (LTV, DSCR, reserves, net worth, liquidity covenants, etc).  

The property will likely require substantial work to make it a rental.
