Perplexity

Automate your property research in Windsurf

Cascade takes your investment criteria and hits the Mashvisor API to pull active listings. It uses `search_properties` to filter by your specific budget and yield requirements before you even look at a spreadsheet. Once the data is in, it chains `get_investment_analysis` to calculate your cap rate. You get a clear view of the potential return on investment without manual data entry.

Compare rental strategies for Windsurf

Stop picking between Airbnb and long-term leases based on gut feeling. This MCP Server lets your agent pull `get_rental_rates` for any neighborhood, giving you the hard numbers on which strategy pays more. It runs a side-by-side comparison of local market yields. You see the actual income spread between short-term and traditional rentals, letting you pick the path that hits your profit targets.

Analyze historical trends in Windsurf

Markets shift, and you need to see the cycle. Your agent uses `get_historical_performance` to map out seasonal dips and occupancy spikes for any city you track. This reveals the volatility of your income stream. You aren't just looking at a snapshot; you're seeing how the property performs throughout the calendar year.
