On Real Estate Rookie Youtube we just released a new Rookie Reply episode that has a question pertaining to First Time Home buyer's.

One of the easiest things that you can do to "talk" to the algorithm is search your property and heart it. 

Instead, they’re relying heavily on algorithms to make underwriting and valuation decisions.

I would only add these two: FIRST - people constantly ask which algorithm to use to get their prices set.

Airbnb operates as an interest-based algorithm, rewarding listings that grab attention and keep potential guests clicking.

Most states require them to produce a report with that data to give to the client.So why is having an algorithm look at the rental data illegal, but an individual person look at the data not?

I would like to do some research on other rental properties before I set my priceComputer algorithms are good for studying a general market, maybe even a neighborhood, but they are terrible for evaluating a specific rental.

It'd be like a content creator only using Instagram and ignoring YouTube, Facebook and TikTok.

I love algorithm based cost seg studies.

I made some in depth STR marketing videos on youtube (I come from a hotel marketing background) before I joined BiggerPockets and people loved them.
