You don't want to organize it, spend many hours maintaining this system, and then months down the road hear from your CPA that they cannot accept your data.

2025 Agent Production BreakdownThe data, often cited from National Association of Realtors (NAR) tracking and industry reports, reveals a significant gap between high-producing agents and the rest of the industry:71% of agents closed zero transactions throughout the year.15% of agents closed between 1 and 4 deals.93% of all licensed agents closed fewer than 10 transactions.Only 0.2% to 0.5% of agents reached high-volume tiers of 50+ to 100+ transactions.

Yeah scraping Auction is smart but the real edge is what you do with the data after it lands in your lap.If you already have Apify pulling all new foreclosures each morning, I’d tighten it up by baking your buy box into the scraper so it only keeps stuff that roughly pencils in, like estimated ARV times 0.7 minus a ballpark rehab and fees still leaves you with your target equity.

In my experience, most pre-packaged “lender lists” are static and widely circulated, which means the data can be outdated or already contacted by many investors.The bigger issue usually isn’t having a list — it’s whether the lenders are currently active in your specific market and still funding deals.I’d be curious to hear from anyone who’s actually used it and closed deals from it.

Your lender underwrites off listing data, your pro forma is built on listing data, and that gap doesn't surface until it's expensive.For your situation specifically, I'd exhaust the local options first.

I would lead with that HARD in all your marketing.A few strategies beyond MLS:SELL IT AS A BUSINESS, NOT JUST A PROPERTYInclude your booking history, reviews, revenue data, and even your tech stack (PMS, smart locks, etc).

Data the applicant enters seems to frequently not be verified and it allows for complete omissions in fields and hides important information such as social security numbers from landlords.
