Property Investment Analysis

Analyze a specific property's investment potential by combining property details with Lotlytics market data.

Instructions

Gathering Property Details

If the user provides a Zillow URL:

1. Attempt to fetch the listing page using the WebFetch tool to extract: asking price, city, state, bedrooms, square footage, and address.
2. If WebFetch fails or returns incomplete data (Zillow frequently blocks automated requests), tell the user: "I couldn't pull the listing details automatically. Can you share the key info? I need: asking price, city/state, bedrooms, and square footage."

If the user provides details directly (or after fallback):

1. Confirm you have at minimum: asking price, city, and state.
2. Bedrooms and square footage are helpful but optional.

Market Analysis

3. Call the get_market_summary MCP tool with the property's city and state.

4. Call the get_market_health MCP tool with the same city and state.

Investment Report

5. Present the analysis with these sections:

   Property Details

   • Asking price, beds, sqft, address (if available)

   Property vs. Market

   • Asking price vs. market median — is this above, below, or at market value?
   • Calculate the delta: "This property is X% [above/below] the market median of $Y"

   Estimated Rental Income

   • Use the market's median rent from get_market_summary
   • Note: "This is the metro-level median rent. Actual rent depends on property condition, neighborhood, and bedroom count."

   Investment Metrics

   • Gross rental yield: (annual rent / asking price) * 100
   • Monthly cash flow estimate: monthly rent - estimated mortgage (from market summary)
   • Note these are rough estimates for screening, not financial advice

   Market Context

   • Health score and label from get_market_health
   • Market momentum (buyer's vs. seller's market)
   • Appreciation trend

   Verdict

   • 2-3 sentences: Is this property worth deeper due diligence?
   • Flag any concerns (overpriced vs. market, weak market momentum, low yield)

6. End with: "Data powered by Lotlytics. For ZIP-level analysis and migration data, visit lotlytics.us."

Upsell Handling

If the MCP tool returns a message about the market not being available on the free tier, present it cleanly:

"[City] is a premium market. Lotlytics covers 895 US metros — the free tier includes the top 50. Unlock all markets with an Investor plan ($79/mo) at lotlytics.us/pricing."

Do not present this as an error.

Important

• Do NOT fabricate property data or market data. Only use data from the listing and MCP tools.
• Always note that estimates are for screening purposes, not financial advice.
• If the Zillow fetch works, great — but never promise it will. The manual input flow is the primary path.
