AI for real estate investors
AI is a fast analyst for first-pass deal screens and checklists. It is not a source of numbers: rents, expenses and comps come from you, your property manager and your agent.

FAQ
Can AI analyse a real estate deal?
It can run the maths on numbers you provide and point out what to verify. It can't know the real rents, expenses or condition.
Can AI predict appreciation?
No. Treat any prediction as a guess and leave it out of your decision.
Is there an investor product?
Yes: the Investor kit ($24, one-time) has 3 agents and 9 workflows. Checkout is opening soon; its free sample and the prompt on this page are free now.
