Yeah, I've tried some of those tools - SEMrush/SpyFu are great for digital marketing but not really designed for real estate market research specifically.The gap I'm seeing is that most tools focus on one piece:- Rentometer → rental comps only- NeighborhoodScout → crime/demographics only- AirDNA → just Airbnb data- City-Data → outdated forumsSo you end up with like 8 browser tabs open trying to piece everything together 😅What I'm really looking for (and maybe others here too) is something purpose-built for real estate investors that shows:✅ Actual rental demand (not just comps, but vacancy rates, days on market)✅ Section 8 voucher availability by area (huge pain point for me)✅ Local landlord regulations that could kill a deal✅ Neighborhood trajectory (improving vs declining)✅ All in one place, specific to the address I'm analyzingCurious - for those doing multiple deals per month, what's your process?
