Any property can be positioned as an investment. The difference is whether the numbers are ready when an investor's agent asks for them. My Listings prepares an investment package for every listing, ready to share with buyer's agents and their investor clients.
What buyer's agents with investor clients need
An agent working with an investor has to answer the same questions for every property they consider:
- What would it rent for, long-term or as a short-term rental?
- What is the monthly cash flow after the mortgage, taxes, insurance and expenses?
- What are the cap rate and cash-on-cash return?
- How do the returns change with a bigger or smaller down payment, or paying all cash?
Most listings leave the agent to work this out alone. Many won't bother, and they move on to a property that's easier to evaluate.
Introducing My Listings
My Listings lets you present every listing you have from the investment perspective.
- Your listings, in one place. Investra recognizes the listings where you're the listing agent, and you can add any others yourself.
- An investment package for every listing. The first time you open a listing, Investra builds a full investment analysis: rent estimates, monthly cash flow, cap rate, cash-on-cash return, and returns at different down payments and all cash, for both long-term and short-term rental.
- Ready to share. Each listing comes with an investor-ready report and a share link. Send it to buyer's agents who work with investors, or share it with anyone asking whether the property makes sense as an investment.
- Always at today's price. When the price changes, Investra flags that the analysis still uses the old asking price and updates it in one click, with the down payment and taxes adjusting too.
- Listing activity at a glance. Days on market, price history, and nearby homes that recently dropped their price or went pending.
How to use it
- Open your listing in Investra. The investment analysis is built automatically.
- Review the numbers. Adjust rent or expenses if you know the property better than the estimate.
- Share the package. Send the share link to buyer's agents in your network who work with investors, and include it when an agent asks about the property.
- Keep it current. After a price change, update the analysis so every agent sees today's numbers.
