Software to find deals 24/7? Does it exist?
Hi all,
As much as I love investing in real estate, I hate doing the search and analysis work through hundreds of listings until I find a deal that actually makes sense for my goals. I was wondering if there was any software that provides a solution to this? Specifically, a software that analyzes listings 24/7 based on a set of criteria like cash on cash return, profit margin, purchase price, etc. Once it finds a deal, it sends a notification and pre-fills a purchase contract? Anything similar?
Also, I should mention that I do not want to hire a realtor to do this as I am a realtor myself and want something automated and much quicker than any realtor can be.

The trick is don’t scrub the listing, create filters… begin to memorize average price per foot, and average price sold, and then begin to memorize what a good number is at a percentage of that. For example in my market $100 per foot is becoming the new minimum for bottom of the barrel conditions and if decent $130 per foot is for average stuff so I get really excited if $80-90 per foot opportunities come up. I automatically know it has a likelihood of being a deal. There are some of our better areas at $200 per foot so then I’d go up to $140 per foot on acquisition… I also know our average sold price was hovering around $294k so if I’m at or below $150k odds are more likely I have a deal and I don’t mess with stuff above $200, yet. This is rapidly changing in this new market but I’m just saying look at filters not just listings.
