How to read these numbers
A good tag has to do two things: show up when it should, and stay away when it shouldn't. Here is what that looks like for investment strategies, one dot per 1% of tags.
Of all the strategies the listings really support, how many did we tag? Out of 438, we tagged 407. Experts call this recall.
Of the strategy tags we showed, how many did a reviewer agree with? 407 of 532. Experts call this precision.
The details
Hover over or tap any bar for the counts behind it. Every chart has the full numbers in a table underneath.
498 listings. A listing can fit several strategies.
| Strategy | Listings | Found | Confirmed | Missed | Extra tags |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| As-Is | 99 | 95% | 95% | 5 | 5 |
| Short-Term Rental | 81 | 96% | 73% | 3 | 29 |
| House Hacking | 77 | 99% | 77% | 1 | 23 |
| Cashflow | 66 | 85% | 82% | 10 | 12 |
| Value-Add | 61 | 90% | 58% | 6 | 40 |
| BRRRR | 29 | 93% | 77% | 2 | 8 |
| Fix & Flip | 25 | 84% | 72% | 4 | 8 |
Reading the bars: a long teal bar with a shorter indigo one, like Value-Add, means we tag that strategy generously. You'll rarely miss one, but give it a second look.

No spin
We would rather you hear it from us. These are the weakest spots in the current release, and what they mean for you.
Only 58% of our Value-Add tags are confirmed. Listings that mention renovations or upside often read as Value-Add when the reviewer disagreed. Treat it as "worth a look", not a verdict.
64% of our "Rental income stated" signals are confirmed. Overall, about 3 in 10 signals we show are ones a reviewer wouldn't have added; it's the price of finding 83% of them.
Half baths, ensuites and "3+1" style counts are written dozens of ways. We get 78% right; check the photos before you rely on it.
Tags come from the listing's own words. If a seller leaves out the basement suite or the leaky roof, so do we. A tag is a lead to verify, not an inspection.
Getting better
We re-run the same 159 listings after every change, so releases compare fairly. We chose to find more strategies even when that adds a few extra tags: found went from 76% to 91%.
Releases, Oct 10 → Oct 13, 2026. Property type stayed at 94% throughout.
| Release | Date | Property type | Strategies found | Strategies confirmed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Oct 10, 2026 | 94% | 76% | 81% |
| 2 | Oct 10, 2026 | 94% | 80% | 84% |
| 3 | Oct 10, 2026 | 94% | 82% | 79% |
| 4 | Oct 12, 2026 | 94% | 86% | 78% |
| 5 | Oct 12, 2026 | 94% | 86% | 78% |
| 6 | Oct 12, 2026 | 94% | 91% | 78% |
| 7 | Oct 13, 2026 | 94% | 91% | 78% |
Method
The same approach researchers use to grade a classifier, kept simple and repeatable.
We sample listings from our own feed, including rare types like cottages, land and fix-and-flips, so every tag has enough examples to grade.
Each listing is read and labelled against a written guide: its type, every strategy it supports, its stated room counts and its deal signals.
We tune our rules on separate practice listings. The scores on this page come only from the 498 listings that were kept aside, so they reflect listings the tags have never seen.
A few strategies follow fixed rules, applied the same way to every listing and to the hand labels:
Every new listing goes through the same steps, in seconds:
Questions
Found (recall) is the share of the tags a listing really deserves that we show. Confirmed (precision) is the share of the tags we show that a human reviewer agreed with. A tool that tagged everything would find 100% but confirm very little; one that tagged nothing would never be wrong but would find nothing. We report both so you can see the trade-off.
Investors told us a missed House Hacking or As-Is tag costs them a deal, while an extra tag costs a few seconds to dismiss. So our rules lean toward showing a possible strategy or signal for you to check, and that is why found is higher than confirmed.
No. If a listing does not say how many bedrooms, bathrooms or garage spaces it has, we leave the field blank rather than guess. Blank is better than wrong when you are filtering for deals.
Real listings from our own feed, 498 for property type and strategies and 137 for deal signals, each checked by hand against a written labelling guide. None of them were used to build or tune the rules, so the scores show how the tags do on listings they have never seen.
The accuracy numbers are republished every time we change how listings are tagged; the last update was October 13, 2026. The live counts at the top of the page refresh every 10 minutes.
No. Tags describe what the listing text says, such as "sold as-is" or "separate entrance". They help you find candidates faster; always do your own due diligence, inspection and numbers before making an offer.
Yes, please do. Send us the listing link through the contact page. Wrong tags are exactly what we use to improve the next release. Contact us.
