Data-Driven Investment in Single-Family Homes

[Steven McCord]

I'm developing a software-as-a-service offering for real estate investors to find great locations -- down to the block level -- to invest in single family rentals. It is especially aimed at people looking for better yields further away from home. We take all kinds of location information, mix it together, and give you 1) a detailed mapping of risk & return 2) an early warning on locations that make sense for you.

Some questions for investors who have several SFRs or more:

1. What is the BIGGEST headache you face in trying to figure out "where" to invest?

2. Without giving away your secrets, do you do any sort of analysis to identify locations? Or focus just on whether each deal "works"? Do you want to be able to do better/faster/cleaner analysis?

3. What solutions have you tried and were they insufficient?

4. What professionals do you turn to, besides your agent, to get investment ideas. Your property manager? REI groups?

Feel free to DM me and we can arrange a deeper discussion. I'll give you a 25 dollar Amazon gift card for a completed interview!
