Find Investment Properties Instantly

The `list_properties` tool lets you ask Claude for listings that match your exact criteria. You can filter by city, state, bedrooms, and property type to get a list of potential investments right in your chat window. Each property returned includes key metrics for both Airbnb and long-term rental strategies. This means you're not just getting a list of houses — you're getting a pre-qualified list of actual investment opportunities. Use `search_properties` for even more advanced filters when you're ready to zero in.

Compare Rental Strategies Head-to-Head

The `get_investment_analysis` tool calculates the financial breakdown for any property. Just give your agent a property ID and ask it to run the numbers. You get cap rate, cash-on-cash return, and projected income. This isn't just for one strategy. Use the `get_rental_rates` tool to pull traditional rental comps, then run the analysis again. You can directly compare the financial outcomes of an Airbnb versus a long-term rental for the same property, side-by-side, to make a decision based on data, not guesswork.

Spot Market Trends with this MCP Server

With `get_historical_performance`, you can ask Claude to show you the seasonal performance for Airbnbs in a specific area. This is how you spot risks, like a summer dip in a college town or a winter slowdown in a beach community. It’s not just about past performance. You can combine this with data from `list_neighborhoods` to see if a high-performing area is getting saturated. This MCP server gives you the tools to look past the current listing price and see the underlying market dynamics.
