A proprietary real estate evaluation engine allows for personalized investment assumptions to be incorporated with nation-wide listing data, meaning you get customized deal analysis outputs in seconds. Sort and filter by a full suite of investment metrics. Search entire states for the most profitable deals. Test out how various rental strategies, such as co-living, alter profitability. Ditch the spreadsheets and identify your next target investment in minutes, not months.
Hey Product Hunt Community 👋 I'm Austin MacKay Childs, maker of Property Alpha.
When I got my start in real estate investing a decade ago, countless evenings and weekends were wasted pouring over hundreds of listings, dropping them into a rudimentary spreadsheet calculator, and praying the math on my first deal would pan out.
Fast forward and my experience in managing quantitative institutional portfolios, designing & developing machine learning applications, and owning/operating co-living properties led me to build Property Alpha. It runs every metric (cash flow, cap rate, cash-on-cash, etc..) on any U.S. residential property in seconds, using assumptions you customize to your strategy.
It's built for everyday investors trying to land their next (or first) deal while most of the market sits frozen waiting on rates.

I'll be here all day and would love your feedback. Some things I'm especially curious about:
- What part of the site is a joy to use?
- What feature/bug caused the most frustration?
- What data are you most skeptical of and why?
AMA 🙏
When I first used property alpha, I was shocked by accessibility of investing in real estate. Coming from the Bay, I always expected real estate to be either too much commitment (time and financial) or too distant to manage. I was surprised when Property Alpha led me to multiple cash flowing opportunities for lower entry price and within 25 miles of where I lived, inviting me in to benefit from real estate investing.
I highly recommend property alpha to anyone curious about investing in real estate!
@measd really appreciate the positive feedback! Thanks for the comment
Using Zillow to research properties was limited, and required me to use a custom excel template to analyze deals. This is still useful for me but Property Alpha lets me analyze properties at scale and skip the ones that don’t meet my requirements. This saves me a lot of time and mental energy. Have been sending this to my friends for a few months now; check it out!
@mattb3n Wonderful, thank you for sharing!
Analysis paralysis is one of the biggest trap when getting started. This is Sucha game changer in breaking free some excel sheets and countless hours of work for 1 property. It was able to handle almost all of the the data crunchingcomps, rental trends, and market metrics within minutes. It’s perfect for screening out bad deals fast so you don't waste hours on them. Just make sure to still do your own real world due diligence before pulling the trigger!
@sonam_dolkar really appreciate the positive feedback! Great admonishment to dyor before making any substantial inveestment
I had been hunting for an investment property with my partner for a while and getting bogged down with sheets and sheets of calculations and metrics. Property alpha made things SIGNIFICANTLY easier for us - quick way to filter and sort by what we were looking for. End result is that we were able to find a few properties that met what we are looking for and fingers crossed are about to have one of our offers accepted soon!
Well done property alpha team, you have no idea how much time this has saved us hunting for investment properties!
@michael_weingert Happy to help! Thanks for the positive feedback!
This is one of those, "Didn't know you needed it until you tried it...and now can't imagine living without it." I've made multiple attempts in the past at purchasing an investment property, but the haystack always proves too deep, and I gave up before finding the needle. 15 minutes on Property Alpha, and I've already circled 6 candidates to visit this weekend (and 2 more in Denver that my uncle is going to check out). Amazing stuff!
@joe_polin great to hear you are finding deals easily!
I enjoy using the interface and being able to see all of the critical information and data points needed to help me move towards or away from the property. Truly a time saver and must have when purchasing real estate properties!
@diana_chen5 Glad to hear you enjoy the design! The team worked hard to make it streamlined and enjoyable
