Inspiration:

Everyone need/want a house at one point but it has been extremely difficult with the high interest rates and inflations. Recently, the FED just cut the interest rates down, thus, would drive up businesses, including the housing market. People would want to find properties to either reside or to generate money from it. This app would help users achieve that easier, From here this app would tell them if it is a good deal and would they generate benefits from putting in more units.

What it does:

This app essentially prompt the user to enter an address of a lot that they are interested in. Then it would provide them crucial data and inform if this lot is a good deal that would benefits the user financially base on the zoning which would allow them to know how many units they can put on the lot. It would also supply the user with a survey of the property that they are looking at with all the layouts, measurements.

How we built it:

User entering address. Show them information of the property
Use Toolhouse to scrape the web Scrape website such as Zillow to get properties data, zoning
Agent Collect data to interpret and analyze to provide users insights about the lot Inform if it will be a good deal to invest in the lot to put in new units

Challenges we ran into:

We spent the first 10 hours on an project that later on we pivot towards a different idea and abandoned the original project

Accomplishments that we're proud of:

We built a unique application that could potentially help users gain financial benefits by providing them the zoning and mathematical calculations to see if maxing out the units on a certain lots would be an optimal approach.

What we learned:

Front-end using react.js, Back-end, toolhouse implementation, build agents to analyze real estate data to provide valuable insights for users.

What's next for PlotLot:

We will improve it and enhance the UI experiences. We would want to be a bridge between the user and the landlord and connect them directly instead of just displaying data.
