There are several great resources for data. 

The differences lie in how they aggregate, update, and present the data.

That puts any of their data sets into serious question.

I'm data driven and would love to immerse myself in IL, AL, MC specific property, demographic and investor-centric data sources the same way I've done in my previous area of focus.

I’m exploring ways to automate my deal analysis process and was wondering:1.Is there a way to programmatically pull MLS data?

I'm looking at investing in several out-of-state markets (potential BRRRR strategy in mind), I have a list of qualifiers that I'm sussing out to determine viable markets but would love to know: what data helps in determining a good market to invest?

Quote from @Mohan Sadashivaiah: I would like to know if Data analysis in needed in Real Estate industry.

I wonder if there is a way to web scrape for when a new realtor is hired or passed exams in the area so that I could hit them up immediately.  

Hey Dan, shoot me a DM, I'd be happy to jump on a call and shed some light on the rent data. 

do you need help obtaining the data you are talking about?
