Quote from @Matthew Schumacher: Absolutely agree — the potential is massive.Right now, I’m exploring a few simple but powerful ways to use AI in real estate investing:Property scouting: Using AI + public data to surface areas with high permit activity, low crime, good schools — then overlaying maps to find sweet spots.Pricing analysis: Running AI models on list-to-sale ratios, DOM (days on market), and price trends to spot undervalued areas or neighborhoods heating up.Quarterly performance check-ins: Feeding financials into AI tools to flag underperformers or cash flow issues before they become a problem.Tax and financing optimization: Starting to test AI advisors to suggest tax strategies and compare loan terms — way faster than doing it manually.I’m also looking into setting up automations that pull in fresh data monthly — AI works best with up-to-date info.Totally agree — the earlier we learn and integrate, the more of an edge we’ll have.

Quote from @Thomas Adams: Hey everyoneI’m a data scientist who spent too many late nights clicking through listings, so I decided to scratch my own itch. 

With $150-$200 net, it doesn't leave enough buffer for maintenance / capex, not to mention the potential turnover cost, if your tenant decides to part ways after 1 year. 

Data indicates a 35% year-over-year increase in institutional acquisitions, though from a small base representing only 10% of total distressed property transactions.

Do you see any downside to using the Bloc loan (12% secured against my rental) as a buffer for holding cost?

So getting accurate sold and rent data for any property is a must.

Always add extra buffer time—projects typically take longer than expected.Total CostsDetermine all rates and costs upfront—no guessing.

How do ya'll look at this data and analyze it?

Quote from @John Becker: Curious if anyone has come across research or data on how 100% bonus depreciation affects real estate prices.

I am interested in using these funds for an alternative real estate investment strategy outside of long term buy and hold rentals (tax lien, air bnb arbitrage, commercial, data center).
