InvestorLoft PropScout: Investment Property Search Made Simple

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

Investment Property Search at InvestorLoft.com

When we designed our PropScout investment property search engine, it truly was with the investor in mind. There’s nothing more frustrating for an investor than to have to sift through listing after listing to find a suitable property for your investment goals. We deceided that enough was enough and developed a smarter way to search.

This week, we’ll answer a few questions that we’ve received via email regarding the PropScout Search Engine. We’re always looking for ways to improve our service offerings and much thanks to the members below for asking. We’re happy to answer!

How do I know the properties that come up in my PropScout search are legit? – Mark M. (Illinois)

Only licensed real estate agents are eligible to list their properties on InvestorLoft. This means you’re not going to run across fly-by-night deals listed by unscrupulous individuals just looking to grab your earnest money check and run. While there’s no substitute for a thorough due diligence process when acquiring any investment, including real estate, we started from the most logical place to protect our members: the licensed real estate agent.

I have a very specific cash flow requirement for any property I add to my portfolio. Can I search by cash flow on InvestorLoft? – Jennifer A. (Arizona)

On the PropScout search page, just scroll to the line marked “Search by YOUR desired minimum annual Cash Flow” and select from the drop down menu. Hit search, and your results will be on-target and easy to review.

Not only can you search exclusively by cash flow, but cap rate, equity, property type and more. The PropScout Search Engine was designed specifically cater to the needs of the real estate investor. 

How is PropScout any different from searches I perform on other online real estate sites? – Carolyn W. (Colorado)

We’re glad you asked! See, most real estate investors aren’t so concerned with number of bedrooms, granite counter tops and upgraded flooring. They want to know that a property makes financial sense for their portfolio. That being said, you won’t find the typical “residential” search criteria on InvestorLoft’s PropScout. What you WILL find, however, is a solid list of qualifying financial criteria to build a search that suits YOUR needs. Swimming pool? Take it or leave it. Cash flow? Now that’s something we want to hear about!
