The Workflow
Crawl Real Estate Listings
Set up a monitor for Zillow or Redfin for your target zip codes. Trigger the workflow for every new listing that meets your basic criteria (e.g., price, beds/baths).
Watch out: Use specialized real estate data providers (like RentCast) for more accurate rental data than what's available on public sites.
Calculate Investment Metrics
Pass the property details and local market data to an AI financial model. Calculate the cap rate, cash flow, and total ROI based on current interest rates and rental estimates.
Watch out: Be conservative with your expense estimates (maintenance, vacancy) to avoid overestimating your returns.
Alert for "Home Run" Deals
If the ROI exceeds your target threshold (e.g., >10% cash-on-cash), trigger a high-priority Slack or SMS alert with the full financial breakdown and a link to the listing.
Watch out: Time is of the essence. In hot markets, the best deals are gone in hours, so ensure your alerts are instant.
