If you’re going to use AI, you should be a seasoned investor because you have to drill down to finally get correct answers.I have tested it with existing rental properties and eventually I got an answer close to being accurate, but it took drilling down and without having experience I don’t think I would have gotten the correct answer.It was incorrect on ARV, rental values and whether it would cash flow correctly.
