Some people have mentioned they would like to see how others use the research tool (www.totalviewrealestate.com). We built the tool for anyone who looks at a house as an investment first - so that is us, or even just smart home buyers... but I will briefly share how I use some of the features to drill down.
We all look for flat out deals, but the small things can be important also. Consider this... are you renting? Perhaps a low income area? Then Walk-Score is really important to be able to commute by walking or bike for many people. Also, it is an all around good indication of convenience, how close every is for anyone, just not those without cars.
On the demos, are families with kids more apt to live there? If so, the schools information is one of the important factors parents weigh when buying a house. Having good schools that are both close and in their district are big selling points.
Renting it? Use the the rental rates to know what competition is charging. Try slashing your target rent price by 10 or 15% (so you have a great rental opportunity for people to flock to), then calculate your mortgage payment based on the price you are willing to offer for it + monthly est expenses. Does it cash flow the amount you want at that rent price? If so, it could be a great deal, if not, move on!
Maps... we have tons of mapping features for you. The built in map allows you (for most properties) to pan around the property. No more looking straight down, you can get a view from every angle to get a view of the exterior without being there. To pan around it, just click the letters on the compass ("N","S","E","W"). If you prefer large maps, or other provider's maps, just click the "Launch in X" links under mapping.
The list goes on, but these are some little things I know are helpful for me.
Go ahead and share the different ways you research, using this tool specifically or not. The more we know about how others research the more we can improve our tool to meet your needs.
Thanks!

Useful Tool
This is a very useful tool for researching properties. You have alot of useful information at the click of a mouse. I am looking at properties to buy and hold for cashflow purposes. I have been able to research the value of a property and the rental statistics for the area at the same time. Thank you very much for this useful tool.

I call it my TV guide...
I like this tool. I've used it for the past two years and I'll say, using it for research sure makes it easy to get the basic information on almost any property and it can make you look real good to potential partners and clients.
Thanks Dean

Account Features Still Under Development??
I recently created this account. I went to the link and it had a signup, which I did. It said I was logged in and could begin exploring. It says certain "account kinks" haven't been worked out, but I can receive updates on improvements and modifications. The system has no where for me to logout or to edit my account info or anything. The title says "NEW" analysis tool but the article, entry, post is dated 2009. It's 2011. If I wanted to change and/or delete my member account, what would I do? As I already have an account, I'm not sure why another account had to be created. PLUS: Used the tool to analyze a property and was pleased with the information and data provided.
Better Late Than Nver...
I am sooo glad that even though its been 2 months since you gave this information out, i now have become a recipient of it too! Being new to this, i can already foresee how this valuable tool will be a major factor to my success. Thanks a million Dean! By the way, a million is how much i plan to have made in 2-3yrs. With God and your help and guidance that will definitely be possible. Thanks again Dean!!!!
Question

I hav tried this website, but did not use it to its full extent. After reading all past comments, I am now going into it full force. Thanks Dean for continuously leaving permanent footprints for those of us who thought it difficult, to easily follow. You are a blessing in this world
