AI estimates sound great on paper. Questioning them is the way. A real rent CMA on a few actual comps tells you more than any number a tool spits out. What market are you looking at?
I have not used this website before nor do I know the price but there are multiple like it. For example I particularly like DoorHunter. It costs $25 per month but I think it is worth it, it probably saves me a multiple hours a month looking at and analyzing deals.
In terms of "does it work" all of these websites do the same thing, they aggregate data from multiple sources, pull listings from the MLS, and then automatically calculate cash flow for you. They all work more or less the same, although rents and ARV can always be hit or miss, I would say the differences mainly come from usability.

Hey David — I haven't used Cash Flow Finder specifically, but I've run a lot of deals for out-of-state buyers in Cincinnati, and the tools in this category all work the same way: they pull listings and auto-calculate cash flow, so the answer is only as good as the rent, tax, and insurance inputs. In southwest Ohio that's where they usually miss — rents in Cincinnati change block by block, and taxes and insurance have climbed enough to matter in the underwriting. I'd use it to screen, then run any deal that looks good through the BiggerPockets calculator with real comps and a real rent CMA before you trust the number. If you find one in Cincinnati you like, I'm happy to run the actuals with you and tell you what I'd flag on that street.
