🙌You’re totally right — tools like Qualtrics/SurveyMonkey and SEMrush/SpyFu are powerful, but I’ve mostly seen them used for marketing/consumer research rather than for real estate investing decisions.That’s what I keep bumping into: plenty of great general platforms, but nothing that brings together real estate–specific data points like:• Voucher demand or housing authority activity (for S8)• Days on market for rentals in a micro-neighborhood• Vacancy + “desirability” indicators (crime/schools)Out of curiosity — if there were a tool that gave you that kind of “plug in an address → get all the market intelligence” insight in one place, what data would be the most valuable for you personally?

And then we have project Starbase in Abilene, TX which will house thousands of these things on 4 million square feet and consume electricity in the gigawatt range, which is enough for 750,000 homes.

I have played with that idea, but am hesitant because I know that as a consumer, I haven't transitioned off of the STR platforms yet..

Didn’t talk to me about the product or service as the advertisement claimed it was all about the consumer and being helpful, providing value, etc. 

Consumers are just losing purchasing power, especially the middle class. 

They consume a lot of content on social media who mention how 'passive' it is and how they will become wealthy in a few years.

By the time the additional mortgage payment consumed the saved $40k, the unit likely appreciated enough that you will be glad you kept the unit.Good luck

It's time-consuming, but I love helping people during a stressful time.

Personally, as a an STR consumer I care more about finding a decent sharp knife and a cutting board that is bigger than 6" - than a garbage disposal.
