If you’ve ever felt like you’re guessing your way through deals… you’re not alone.
The difference between struggling investors and consistent deal-makers usually comes down to one thing:
Access to the right data—and knowing how to use it.
Real estate data allows you to make decisions based on evidence instead of gut instinct. When you can analyze property details, ownership history, and local market activity, you can spot opportunities faster and avoid costly mistakes.
With reliable data, you can confidently answer questions like:
- Which neighborhoods are producing the most deals?
- Which property owners are most likely to sell?
- What is a property actually worth?
- How profitable could this deal be?
Instead of piecing this information together from multiple tools, platforms like FreedomSoft bring everything into one place—so you can build targeted lists, analyze markets, evaluate deals, and prioritize opportunities without switching systems.
Let’s break down the type of real estate data that FreedomSoft provides—and why it matters for real estate investors.
Where Can Real Estate Investors Build On-Market and Off-Market Lists?
In real estate, there are two primary sources of opportunities:
- Off-market properties (owners not actively listing their homes)
- On-market properties (properties listed on the MLS)
Where Can Real Estate Investors Build On-Market (MLS) Lists?
Real estate investors can build on-market lists using MLS data to identify properties that may present hidden opportunities.
Inside FreedomSoft, investors can access daily-updated, nationwide MLS data for an additional $67/mo and build lists such as:
- Aged listings
- Price drops
- Back on market properties
- Expired, withdrawn, or cancelled listings
- “Investor special” or fixer-upper properties
- Sold listings for comp analysis
With investor-specific filters, you can go beyond what most agents see and uncover opportunities others overlook.
And with one click, you can access verified listing agent contact details, making it easy to act on opportunities quickly.
Where Can Real Estate Investors Build Off-Market Lists?
Real estate investors can also build off-market lists inside FreedomSoft, such as:
- Tired landlord lists
- High equity lists
- Absentee owner lists
- Vacant property lists
- Pre-foreclosure lists
- Zombie property lists
- Owner-occupied lists
And if you need something more specific, you can create fully custom lists using hundreds of property, seller, and behavioral filters.
How Does FreedomSoft Help Real Estate Investors Prioritize Their Best Leads?
FreedomSoft helps real estate investors prioritize their most promising prospects and leads by giving every property in the US a “Deal Score.” This score is calculated using proprietary AI that analyzes real estate data (like property and owner data) to identify how likely a seller is to sell at a discount.
Real estate investors know that when they launch marketing campaigns that generate large numbers of leads, not every lead represents the same opportunity. Yet in the past, it was hard to know a hot lead from a cold one until you picked up the phone.
With FreedomSoft’s Deal Score, real estate investors get an instant picture of potential seller motivation for every prospect or lead in their account. This makes it easy to identify the ones that deserve immediate attention.
How Do Real Estate Investors Identify the Most Profitable Zip Codes In Their Markets?
Real estate investors use tools like FreedomSoft to analyze their markets and identify the hottest pockets with the most deals. Specifically, FreedomSoft’s Heat Maps use nationwide real estate data to visually highlight the zip codes where investor activity overlaps with distressed inventory.
This does two things for investors:
- It means that real estate investors don’t have to pave a new path (because Heat Maps reveal the opportunity)
- It means that real estate investors can concentrate their marketing budgets on the areas most likely to produce deals.
Not every neighborhood within a city produces the same number of investment opportunities… Heat Maps make it easy to target the hottest pockets from the start.
How Do Real Estate Investors Run Accurate Sales and Rental Comps?
Real estate investors need accurate, up-to-date real estate data to run comparable sales (comps) to determine a property's value and estimate its potential resale price or rental income. Accurate comps are essential for calculating After Repair Value (ARV), structuring profitable offers, and determining whether a property represents a strong investment opportunity.
FreedomSoft provides the real estate data investors need to run nationwide sales and rental comps, helping them analyze nearby comparable properties and understand local pricing trends—even in non-disclosure states!
Oh…and are you a land investor? FreedomSoft includes sales comps and estimated values for all vacant land properties nationwide, making it fast and easy to determine the value of any plot of land.
How Do Real Estate Investors Estimate Repair Costs Before Buying a Property?
Whether you have construction experience or not, you can get accurate repair estimates fast with FreedomSoft’s Repair Cost Estimator. FreedomSoft, an all-in-one real estate investor CRM, doesn’t just help you generate leads, make offers, and find buyers. You can manage the ins and outs of the REI acquisitions and dispositions process inside FreedomSoft—and the Repair Cost Estimator is a great example of this.
What makes FreedomSoft’s Repair Cost Estimator stand out?
- Every repair cost estimate adjusts materials and labor costs to the local housing market, so you know you’re getting accurate estimates anywhere across the country.
- This tool allows investors to estimate both retail flip renovations and rental-grade repairs.
- Every project is unique, and the FreedomSoft Repair Cost Estimator recognizes that. Because of this, you can customize the categories in your project so you have full control over the final result.
- The estimates will help you better negotiate with sellers and get the best prices from contractors.
Accurate repair estimates are critical for determining whether a deal will be profitable…and FreedomSoft’s Repair Cost Estimator makes it easy.
How Do Real Estate Investors Properly Analyze Deals Before Making an Offer?
Real estate investors analyze deals by comparing exit strategies before committing to a purchase and to determine the highest and best use for a deal (i.e. most profit or best cashflow).
FreedomSoft’s Deal Analyzer helps real estate investors evaluate both fix-and-flip and buy-and-hold scenarios and find the right price and best structure for every deal. This tool flags the main considerations of every deal by color (red, yellow, or green), so you never question whether the numbers of a deal are good or not.
Also, many real estate investors have what’s called a “buy box”—i.e. certain criteria that they look for in a deal. In FreedomSoft, you can customize your Buy Box with ROI targets and instantly know whether a deal matches your criteria or not.
How Does Market Analysis Help Real Estate Investors Make Better Offers?
Market analysis helps real estate investors understand local pricing trends, demand levels, and comparable property sales so they can structure competitive offers.
FreedomSoft includes a Market Analyzer and Dynamic Offer Generator that evaluates local market conditions and helps investors generate offers based on accurate real estate data.
By combining market analytics with deal analysis tools, investors can structure offers that align with current market conditions.
How Can Real Estate Investors Find Nationwide Property Data?
FreedomSoft’s Property Snapshots provide instant insight into properties nationwide, allowing investors to quickly view key property details, ownership information, and market indicators.
Real estate investors often need quick insights about properties before deciding whether to pursue a lead. Research can get complicated, which is why FreedomSoft’s Property Snapshots exist. A Property Snapshot gives you:
- Seller, buyer, lender, and mortgage data
- Property value
- Sales & rental comps

- Distress signals
But Property Snapshots don’t live in isolation—they’re tied to the FreedomSoft CRM (an all-in-one real estate investor CRM) so you can act right away. When you find an opportunity you love, you can take action with a click.
How Do Real Estate Investors Find Property Owner Contact Information?
Once investors identify promising properties, they need a way to contact the property owner. Skip tracing tools help investors access accurate contact information for property owners nationwide.
FreedomSoft is an all-in-one real estate investor CRM that allows you to skip trace property owners without utilizing third-party tools. Once the skip trace results have been captured, real estate investors can connect with property owners through FreedomSoft’s built-in phone system.
Because of the high match rates and accurate data, skip tracing inside FreedomSoft helps real estate investors turn prospect lists into real opportunities—fast.
