Idk how handy with AI you may be but Ive noticed a lot of investors have headed to chatGPT for deal analyzing these days. 

It uses AI to match the dollar amount from the utility bill to the transaction in your bank feed, effectively doing the "matching" for you.

The majority of them seem like auto responses, AI, drip email campaigns or just like a third party scheduling service that some podcasts or lead gen companies are paying for. 

I have software that does this as well - its not excel but there are a ton of benefits over excel, especially if you want to have multiple scenarios of the same asset, aggregate multiple assets into a fund, calculate complex equity waterfalls, integrate AI to automate data entry or write python scripts to do analysis (or have ChatGPT write it for you). 

Especially for out-of-area screening, portfolio comparisons, or brokers/investors evaluating multiple sites quickly.I also agree BP’s core audience is rental-focused, not entitlement-driven developers.

The discussion broke investing down into seven broad profiles: Deal Maker, Wealth Builder, Lifestyle Investor, Visionary/Developer, Connector, Analytical Strategist, and Mission-Driven Investor.

Hey everyone,I’m a real estate agent in Middlesex County, MA, and lately I’ve been shifting my focus toward working more closely with investors doing fix-and-flip projects in this area.I’m genuinely interested in becoming the kind of agent investors actually want to work with long-term, not just writing offers, but helping with things like identifying solid opportunities, giving realistic ARV feedback, understanding renovation-driven pricing, and planning the resale side early on.I wanted to open this up as a discussion and hear from others about How have you seen agents successfully connect with active flip investors at the local level?

I’ve successfully built a stack that automates the intake and skip-tracing process for approximately $0.15–$0.30 per lead (API costs only).The Strategic Flow:Data Integrity: Using Google Address Autocomplete to ensure zero-error data entry from the start.Instant Valuation: Pulling real-time market data to provide the seller with a custom offer range immediately.Automated Skip Tracing: The system automatically pulls legal owner names, mobile numbers, and emails the second the form is submitted.Remote Management: I manage the entire logic (margins, repair costs, SMS triggers) through a Slack/Telegram integration so I don't need a heavy CRM.I’m currently running this through a Google Sheets backend to keep the tech stack lightweight.I’m curious to hear from the veterans here—at what volume does it make sense to move away from 'all-in-one' platforms and into custom API-driven automation?

One thing that I have been stressing over a is bookkeeping.

He responded to a text campaign (my AI sent initial outreach) and we never spoke on the phone—only texted.
