Getting Started with Investra AI

Real estate intelligence delivered through AI — search properties, analyze markets, and find deals directly from your favorite AI assistant.

What is Investra AI?

Investra AI is a real estate intelligence platform that connects directly to AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and VS Code Copilot through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Instead of switching between browser tabs, spreadsheets, and scattered data sources, you can ask your AI assistant to pull live property data, run market analyses, estimate rehab costs, and even skip-trace property owners — all in a single conversation.

Under the hood, Investra exposes a suite of 13 specialized tools that your AI assistant calls on your behalf. The results flow back into the conversation so the assistant can interpret, compare, and advise — just like having a data-savvy analyst on your team.

What You Can Do

  • Search Properties — Find on-market listings by location, price range, beds, baths, and property type.
  • Analyze Markets — Get median prices, days on market, inventory levels, and trend direction for any city.
  • Estimate Costs — Break down taxes, insurance, maintenance, closing costs, and rehab budgets for a specific address.
  • Get Rent Estimates — See projected monthly rent and comparable rental data for any property.
  • Pull Sales Comps — Retrieve recent comparable sales to validate an asking price or ARV.
  • Browse Deals — Explore curated investment deals (fix & flip, BRRRR, buy & hold, wholesale, syndications) with projected ROI.
  • Search Off-Market Properties — Access 40M+ off-market records to find opportunities before they hit the MLS. (Paid plan required)
  • Skip Trace Owners — Look up owner contact information for off-market outreach. (Pro Plus required)
  • Check Interest Rates — Get the current average 30-year fixed mortgage rate.
  • View Market Data — Drill into rates, prices, supply, demand, economy, and rental categories nationwide.
