Rental Market Opportunity Finder

Challenge‍

A real estate investment group was performing time-consuming manual analysis of rental market opportunities, limiting them to evaluating only about 90 properties monthly. Their process involved analysts individually researching listings, checking multiple data sources, and making subjective assessments on potential returns. This inefficient approach meant they were missing valuable investment opportunities and spending excessive time on properties that didn't meet their criteria.

‍

Solution

‍An AI property screening system using Deepseek and n8n that:

• Automatically monitored multiple listing sources for new rental properties
• Evaluated each property against 25+ investment criteria including location analytics, price trends, rental yield estimates, and renovation requirements
• Ranked opportunities by potential return on investment with confidence scores
• Generated comprehensive property dossiers with supporting data for high-potential properties
• Tracked market trends to continually refine the evaluation criteria

‍

Implementation

‍The implementation was completed in phases over 5 weeks:

1. Data source integration and normalization of property information
2. Development of evaluation algorithms based on historical investment performance
3. Creation of automated monitoring and alert workflows
4. Building of detailed reporting dashboards for investment decision-making

‍

Results

• 2,200+ properties evaluated monthly compared to 90 previously, a 24x increase
• 23% higher yield on selected properties compared to previous manual selection
• 1.0 FTE saved in research and initial evaluation time
• 68% faster identification of high-potential properties from market listing to evaluation
