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.
