Investment Strategies

Powered by Picket AI, let you personalize & automate property analysis

Unlock Super Powers

Imagine having an unlimited number of investment analysts at your fingertips, creating custom investment analyses exactly the way you want. Now you can.

Caution: With great power comes great responsibility. While strategies are incredibly powerful, they can lead to poor analysis if used improperly. For instance, instructing your analyst to model every property at 5% of the list price will result in unreliable data. Strategies will follow your instructions, so take care to test any changes to ensure you’re using your superpowers for good.

A strategy acts as a set of instructions to Picket AI which gives you power to personalize and automate every aspect of property analysis.
