Investment Property Screening Agent

Send investors a short list of properties that meet their numbers

Investment Property Screening Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Investor clients want brokers to find properties that meet their return targets, and screening every new listing by hand is slow. Each day this agent filters new listings by each investor's criteria and estimates rent from nearby rental comps. It requires at least three rent comps; if fewer exist, it widens the search area or marks rent as uncertain. Unpermitted units are flagged and their rent is not counted. It calculates cash flow, cap rate and cash-on-cash return using the investor's loan and expense assumptions. It then checks each property against the investor's targets and keeps only those that pass. The broker reviews the short list before anything goes to the investor. Edge case: a property with an unpermitted unit is flagged and only the legal units count toward rent.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

An example run

What happensOn May 20, 46 new listings came in and 6 fit one investor's criteria. A duplex had only two rent comps, so the comp check failed and the agent widened the search, finding a third at $1,450. Another property had an unpermitted basement unit, excluded from rent. Two properties passed with cap rates of 7.1% and 7.4%. The broker reviewed and sent both.
