Finding the needle in a haystack. Greenwood, IN Oct 16, 2026
Search on your terms
Nationally, across your own markets, or one market at a time. Filter by price, cap rate, cash-on-cash return, rent ratio, property age, and verdict, pre-filled from your Investment Goals and adjustable per search.
Best-match ranking
Results are ranked for your strategy (cash flow, balanced, or appreciation) and management style (self-managed or professional), with INVEST properties first.
List or map
View results as a sortable list or a map. INVEST properties stand out as filled green pins; nearby properties merge into bubbles showing the count and verdict mix.
Market pages
Each market shows its available listings, best first, alongside your market research and a ranked-cities report for the metro.
One-click import
Import a listing into your portfolio with the same numbers and verdict you saw in search. If you haven't added that market yet, it's added for you.
Verdicts stay current
Change your goals, financing, or market assumptions and every property is re-evaluated automatically.
Researched numbers, not rules of thumb
Rent, property tax, and insurance are the line items that decide whether a rental cash-flows. Our proprietary algorithms curate each property, filling in those figures before you see it. Generic percentages overstated insurance by 3–8× on newer homes and made good deals look bad.
Rent and insurance figures are researched estimates. Confirm them before you buy.
Live metros include: Austin, TX · Birmingham, AL · Cleveland, OH · Columbus, OH · Greenville, SC · Huntsville, AL · Indianapolis, IN · Kansas City, MO–KS · Lawton, OK · Memphis, TN–MS · Ocala, FL · Oklahoma City, OK · Pittsburgh, PA · St. Louis, MO–IL · San Antonio, TX · Savannah, GA · Stillwater, OK
Your Investment Criteria & Compliance Record
Every rental investment property, whether you found it in the database or uploaded it yourself, is scored against your own investment rules across five filters, producing an objective verdict: INVEST, CAUTION, or REJECT.
Data Quality
Confirms every figure pulled from an investment package or listing is complete and reliable before it touches your investment analysis.
Fiduciary
Cap rate, cash-on-cash return, LTV, break-even occupancy, and net cash flow, scored against your own investment rules.
Market Fundamentals
Vacancy trends and rent growth for the property's specific metro, not a national average.
Price-to-Rent Ratio
Flags properties priced ahead of what local rents can support.
Capital Preservation
An inflation-adjusted exit hurdle, so the verdict accounts for what your capital needs to do over the hold period.
From listing or Investment Package to verdict
Built for investors evaluating multiple candidate properties across one or more markets — including a dedicated 1031 dashboard for exchange investors tracking cash and debt replacement, boot, and the 45-day identification and 180-day closing windows.
