I'm not very familiar with the BP calculator but I would certainly encourage everyone to get prequalified. 

@Jason GriffinRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

They are not reporting this to investors or highlighting it as a major risk as of yet, but I see it coming in the next 6 months or so.Before investing with them, I encourage you to look at their reviews. 

Here's a list of tasks where ChatGPT can be particularly beneficial:Initial Client Interactions: Use ChatGPT as the first point of contact on websites to answer basic client queries and gather preliminary information.Property Information: Automate responses to common questions about property listings, such as square footage, amenities, and nearby attractions.Appointment Scheduling: ChatGPT can help schedule property viewings or meetings based on the broker's availability.Market Updates: ChatGPT can be programmed to provide recent market statistics, price trends, or news to clients on demand.FAQs: Handle frequently asked questions about the property buying/selling process, brokerage fees, or other standard real estate queries.Document Explanation: Brief explanations of common real estate documents, terms, and jargons, ensuring clients have preliminary understanding before detailed discussions.Lead Qualification: By asking potential clients a series of questions, ChatGPT can help in initial lead qualification, filtering out those who aren't serious or ready to move forward.Feedback Collection: After a property tour or meeting, ChatGPT can gather feedback, which helps in improving services or adjusting property prices.Recommendations: Based on client preferences, ChatGPT can suggest properties from the broker's listings.Follow-ups: Automated reminders or check-ins with potential clients to maintain engagement.Education: Offer brief tutorials or explanations about real estate concepts, market trends, or investment advice.Localization: Provide information about neighborhoods, schools, and local amenities to clients interested in specific areas.Transaction Updates: Keep clients informed about the status of their property transaction, from initial offer to closing.Referrals: Encourage satisfied clients to refer friends and family by sending automated referral requests or reminders.Networking: Introduce and maintain relationships with other brokers, agents, or relevant professionals in an automated yet personable manner.Maintenance Reminders: For brokers also involved in property management, ChatGPT can remind tenants of maintenance schedules or gather feedback post-maintenance.Reviews & Testimonials: Automate the process of collecting reviews and testimonials from satisfied clients for promotional use.Mortgage & Financing Info: Provide preliminary information on mortgage rates, lending institutions, or financing options available.Training: New agents in the brokerage can use ChatGPT for training purposes, asking questions about company policies, sales techniques, or market nuances.Market Analysis Reports: While detailed analysis might require specialized tools, ChatGPT can give general market outlooks based on data provided to it.By leveraging ChatGPT in these areas, brokers can increase efficiency, enhance client engagement, and free up time to focus on relationship-building and closing deals.

I'd encourage you to house hack as well.

@Joshua Christensen hit it on the head.Even if CAP rate were meaningful for residential property, what do you intend to do with that information. 

This increase provides more choices for buyers and encourages competition.Months Supply of Inventory: Inventory supply jumped by 50%, from 3.0 to 4.5 months.

That's an encouraging sign.

I, like many used to think “newbies” posted questions or asked for “help” to obtain the best advice from experienced investors, obtain guidance on strategic alternatives, or get a qualified opinion on whether the latest hot guru was worth the $40k price of admission.But, I was WRONG.No, none of those reasons are why newbies come to BP.They don’t want to find out that their “revelation” about how to invest has been tried about 10 million times - with limited successThey don’t want to learn that without capital, knowledge and experience their willingness to commit weekends is near uselessThey don’t want our opinion that they should skip trying to wholesale and spend some time learning as a licensed agentThey don’t want advice that has them taking classes at community colleges or learning real estate law, finance, or principles.So WHAT do they seek when they come to BPThey want comfort, encouragement. and to be told their thoughts are correct.
