You have saved up some money and would like to invest in real estate. However, you have no idea which market to choose and what property to buy.

Sounds familiar? You are not alone.

Traditionally beginner real estate investors could not compete with more experienced investors who snatch all the good deals before beginners get to them.

Not anymore. Now Mashvisor puts beginner investors on an equal footing with professionals.


In brief, Mashvisor helps you:

  • Search for rental properties which meet your budget and expected ROI across the nation
  • Analyze the investment potential of neighborhoods and individual properties quickly and easily
  • Make profitable investment decisions based on industry-leading real estate data analytics for Airbnb and traditional rentals
  • Best for: Beginner and experienced real estate investors who want to turn 3 months of research and analysis into 15 minutes


Mashvisor is a one-stop real estate investment platform that uses big data, AI, and predictive analytics to provide you with all the information and analysis that you need to make profitable investment decisions, in easy-to-understand visualizations

You have the money and the aspiration to gain financial independence, so you want to invest in real estate.

With Mashvisor, you can analyze neighborhoods and investment properties professionally, with no previous experience.

Mashvisor gives you the ability to find a positive cash flow investment property to rent out on a long term or short term basis, within your budget and with a high return on investment.

You can start making money from your traditional or Airbnb rental property right away.


Search for traditional and Airbnb rental properties nationwide

Every real estate investor has a budget and expectations for return on investment when looking for properties.

With Mashvisor’s search app, you can search for properties for sale in any US city or neighborhood based on your customized settings.

Set up your budget, financing method, expected traditional and Airbnb rental income, cap rate, cash on cash return, property type, and other filters to find properties which meet your requirements across the US housing market.

Search through MLS listings, foreclosures, and off market properties.


Get market insights to choose the optimal neighborhood for investing in traditional and Airbnb rentals

Location location location are the three most important factors for the success of a real estate investment.

In real estate investing, in which neighborhood you buy a rental property is just as important as in which city or town.

Mashvisor’s neighborhood analysis tools provide investors with all the real estate data analytics which they need to find the best area for investing in traditional or Airbnb properties.

Find out the median property price as well as the average cash on cash return and rental income in a neighborhood. Get access to sales comps and market insights such as the optimal property type, the optimal number of bedrooms, and the optimal rental strategy for a neighborhood.


Use a real estate data heatmap to analyze the potential of markets

Mashvisor’s heatmap tool allows you to quickly analyze different areas within a city.

Get a color-coded analysis of a real estate market based on average listing price, traditional or Airbnb rental income, traditional or Airbnb cash on cash return, or Airbnb occupancy rate.

Find neighborhoods with affordable home values and above-average return on investment.

Focus your property search on the areas which match your requirements and expectations.


Use readily available calculations of the cap rate on properties for sale across the US market

Cap rate is one of the most popular metrics of profitability of rentals as it allows for a straightforward comparison between the potential of markets and properties.

Nevertheless, getting all the real estate data necessary to calculate the cap rate of all listings within an investor’s budget is a lengthy and tiresome process.

Our investment property calculator provides you with accurate estimates of the return which you can expect on any property listed on our platform as well as any residential property for which you enter the address.

Our cap rate calculations are based on the performance of actual traditional and Airbnb rental comps in the area.


Get access to comprehensive Airbnb rental data in any US market

Airbnb rental properties have turned into the top choice of many beginner and experienced real estate investors in recent years as they consistently offer higher return than traditional rentals.

However, analyzing the investment potential of short term rentals is even more elusive due to the many factors which go into it.

Mashvisor’s real estate investment platform provides you with all the Airbnb rental data which you need to choose a profitable property based on the performance of Airbnb listing comps, coming directly from Airbnb.

Get accurate and reliable data which our team has verified with actual hosts on Airbnb daily rates, Airbnb occupancy rate, and Airbnb rental income. We use this data to calculate the cash on cash return and cap rate which you can expect on your vacation rental.


Obtain traditional and Airbnb rentals comps for any listing

Finding rental comps is crucially important for analyzing the investment potential of a real estate property precisely and accurately.

At the same time, conducting rental market analysis is a laborious process that every investor would rather skip.

Mashvisor’s tools eliminate the need to conduct real estate market analysis manually to find reliable rental comps.

We provide you with the traditional and Airbnb rental comps for each property listing which you can easily download in a CSV file. Moreover, we base all our analytics and calculations on the performance of these rentals to come up with trustworthy estimates.


Export organized and filtered real estate data for your own analysis

Experienced real estate investors prefer to perform their own analysis before buying a property.

Nonetheless, they don’t enjoy the process of collecting and organizing all the information and data which they need for this purpose.

Download CSV files with data on traditional and Airbnb comps to make your own calculations for choosing the most profitable rental property.

Download investment property analysis reports with all our analytics and estimates and share them with others in the industry to get their expert opinion on a property before you buy it.


Find homeowner data and contact property owners directly

Off market properties offer lucrative investment opportunities for both beginner and experienced investors.

Find out who owns a house that caught your eye or generate a complete homeowner list in a real estate market.

Get access to comprehensive data on property owners including their name, homeownership status, investment property ownership status, financing method, budget, employment and financial status, and many others well as their full contact information (address, phone number, and email).

Reach out to property owners via email directly from our collaborative CRM system while keeping log of all your interactions.


Making real estate decisions can be complicated and even overwhelming, so sometimes you need a little advice.

Start searching for and analyzing Airbnb and traditional rental properties like a pro, with zero efforts.

Quality at Economic Cost
The cheapest real estate data platform on the market. At their price point you can’t go wrong. Also, their algorithms seem to work. Put your basic data points into their search parameters and you will get property matches that are almost perfect for your clients. Jordan, Real Estate Agent

Finally a factual tool!
Hello,
I’m fairly new to investment properties and I would have certainly done it sooner if I had a tool years ago like Mashvisor.
Never worry about buying a property without all the facts again! Before it was all about picking what you felt would work which inherently comes with risk, because what you like might not be what the market supports.
With Mashvisor you can now look at the market and buy what is hot or find that perfect compromise of what you like and what the market supports. This programs extensive tools allows you to analyze a variety of variables and the team will support you in your search. Highly recommend getting a subscription to take your investment property business to the next level with factual stats to better make decisions.

FAQs

What data do you use in your analysis?

Mashvisor collects data from different trustworthy sources, many of which are publicly available, including the MLS, Zillow, Rentometer, Airbnb.com, and the Census Bureau. The data is updated on a regular basis, in most cases daily. The data is stored and analyzed using a variety of AI and machine-learning algorithms to turn raw data into actionable analytics. Our data team frequently compares our short term rental data estimates with the results of actual Airbnb hosts.

Which plan is best for me?

Which Mashvisor plan is best for you depends entirely on your investment knowledge, background, and needs. The table above provides a detailed explanation of the tools and features available with each subscription plan so that you can choose the one which best fits your investment needs. Moreover, after you have started a subscription, you can easily change your plan online, right from your account.

Do you have a free trial?

Yes, all our quarterly and annual plans come with a 7-day free trial.

Can I analyze properties that are not available on your platform?

Yes, absolutely. When on our home page you search for a property address that’s not currently available on our platform, you will be given the option to add this property, enter some basic information about the property, and then analyze the investment potential of the property. You can choose whether this property should be visible to other users or not.

Why is a property I am aware of not showing when I search for it on your platform?

We get our listings from ListHub, which has MLS listings nationwide. However, not all properties for sale are available on it. If you are interested in a property that’s not available on our platform, you can easily add it and discover its investment potential.

Do you have commercial listings?

Mashvisor focuses on residential properties which includes multifamily properties with a price up to $5m.

Do you cover international markets?

Mashvisor is focused entirely on the US residential real estate market, where we cover all areas.
