2 listings for San Diego means not usable.

I would want to know the algorithm used for each return.  For example is the cash flow the 50% rule or something more complex?   What is the source of the rent amount.   I use BP rent estimator, but I find it to be the least accurate of Rentometer, Zillow rent estimator.   Knowing this, I would be leery of even using the 50% rule because it is only as accurate as the rent.  

I see in the customize inputs you can see some of the inputs and tweak them. I think the tool is only usable customizing the inputs.   As such I would have the tool default to open on this tab.

The prop tax is blank even though base is 1% of the purchase price in CA then add additions (bonds, etc).   I default my underwriting to 1.2% to be safe, but in every case it is at least 1%.

I recognize it is a start, but 2 listings in San Diego means it is not yet usable in my market.

    I noticed it has pockets and certain cities only, are you guys going to slowly expand it to include more? Will there be an option to add off market/pocket deals?

    I'm unclear on what classifies as an investment property, but it appears to be filtering out almost all the inventory in my local area. I'll keep Zillow and others around for now.

      Looks like it's similar situation for neighboring Vermont and Maine as well. Any timelines on the rollout schedule or is that all TBA?

      San Diego should be live here very soon, just finalizing some approvals with the MLS as we speak

    I really like the old market search tool. It has forecast, crime rate, draw boundary etc features that are now missing. The current tool isn't very useful, at least not for me. are others experiencing the same or it's just me?

       Concur with @Khushleen Jaggi. At least in the interim is it possible to keep both tools until the updated tool is fully rolled out?

    @Caleb Brown we currently have https://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-listings?property_... where you can post pocket listings, but have it on the roadmap to make something even better than this soon. So keep an eye out.

    @Rene Hosman This is a great feature that will help many new investors take action and get out of the analysis paralysis menace we are all guilty of.

    Thank you and the team for the continuous improvement on tools to make real estate investing a lot easier.

    I will try the tools and provide my feedback as soon as possible.

    This tool needs work to be more scalable. With Pro, you can customize the inputs like HOA, insurance, rental income, but I should be able to save those values as my defaults. For example, if I know I am going to do 20% down every time. Additionally, the properties can't be saved, nor does the data flow over to the calculator/reports tool. Share results link does not share any of the customized inputs, so its useless.So - lots of duplicative work being done when an API could connect this all together.

    The biggest game changer would be a filter for properties that do/do not allow rentals. That's a tough one, because even agents can't always see that until they call the listing agent. Lastly - if this data is coming from MLS, it is definitely delayed. The tool is a good start but not usable when we're combing through so many properties.

    @Colin Murphy thank you so much for the great feedback we really appreciate it. We have items on the roadmap to help with the customized inputs and sharing so glad to hear we are going down the right path with those features coming soon.

    Its a great tool, Ive spent many hours checking out properties in different areas. I have noticed it does not list all available properties in the area. The biggest issue for me is I spent a lot of time looking at properties, marking the ones I was interested in as "favorite" and for the life of me I can not find my favorites. If they are gone thats a lot of wasted time. Can anyone direct me to where they may be found?
