Why Experienced Investors Use PrivyLite to Stay Ahead of Market Shifts

The real estate market never slows down. Even seasoned investors often find themselves struggling to find the time and resources to keep up with market changes and adapt their strategies to suit new markets. It’s a difficult balancing act for investors who rely on digital tools, resources, and industry professionals to keep them informed of the latest market shifts – but this can often lead to information overload. So, what’s the solution?

PrivyLite is a free tool that keeps investors ahead of market shifts with the latest insights and custom alerts based on your investing style. It’s not just a time-saving tool; PrivyLite is the first step to elevating your investment strategy and staying ahead of market trends.

What Challenges Do Experienced Investors Face?

Investors have to navigate challenges on a daily basis, from changing interest rates to inventory availability and competition amongst other investors and potential buyers. If you’re an experienced investor, you may be working multiple strategies, markets, and deals at one time, only making these challenges even greater.

As an investor, you need to have your finger on the market’s pulse to know when to buy, sell, or hold your property. The current high interest rates are making traditional financing more expensive, while squeezing your potential profit margin on rental and fix-and-flip properties. Trying to refinance properties with a ‘Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, and Repeat’ (BRRRR) strategy can be more difficult to achieve, and some markets are still experiencing pre-pandemic inventory levels, leading to increased competition.

When your strategy has too many moving parts, you’re likely to miss out on potential opportunities because you’re facing analysis paralysis. A tool like PrivyLite can simplify your strategy, giving you real-time market visibility and avoiding information overload with custom alerts tailored to match your investment strategy. Even in highly competitive markets, PrivyLite offers the insights to navigate these challenges and expand your portfolio. 

What is PrivyLite?

Privy is a closed platform, meaning you’ll have to sign up for a Privy account to access our software, live deal data, and smart automation. You’ll be able to choose between a free PrivyLite account or a paid Privy Pro subscription, starting from just $47 a month for one-state access with the option of 3-state and nationwide data access. In this article, we’ll be focusing on features you’ll receive if you sign up for a free PrivyLite account.

PrivyLite is ideal for beginners and experienced investors alike who want a platform that can work seamlessly in the background, giving you live updates and alerts while requiring no technical input from you. With PrivyLite, you’ll be partnered with an investor-focused agent using our free agent match service. Your agent will choose the most accurate filters and settings to create your ‘buy box’, ensuring every notification is a data point you can use and aligns with your investing strategy.

The main difference between PrivyLite vs. Privy Pro is that you’ll receive single market access. While the paid Pro membership offers multi-market data with up to nationwide coverage, our free Lite account provides verified deal data for your primary market. It’s best suited for experienced investors who are investing in one target area or beginners with a specific investment area in mind. As a result, you’ll be matched with a Certified Privy Pro Agent who has completed training on how to use Privy’s tools to identify and analyze investor-grade opportunities.

What PrivyLite Offers Seasoned Investors

What would your portfolio look like if you could find profitable real estate investments with the click of a button? PrivyLite is a free way to access our comprehensive real estate investment platform, closed to registered and qualifying users only. Powered by direct-to-MLS data, PrivyLite isn’t just for beginner investors.

It’s the perfect stepping stone for streamlining your market insights and adapting your investment strategy using the first search platform built for real estate investors. With PrivyLite, you’ll delegate the setup of your account to a certified agent, who will configure your searches and alerts to suit your strategy.

PrivyLite gives you the time to learn a new market and familiarize yourself with Privy’s interface and data before deciding if a paid subscription is the right option for you. With Privy’s smart automation and live deal data, you’ll get instant market insights to put you ahead of the competition in your chosen market. You can think of PrivyLite as your streamlined intelligence feed, giving you an overview of all the information you need to make smarter, faster, and more efficient investment decisions.

The Benefits of PrivyLite for Experienced Investors

PrivyLite is free to sign up for, allowing you to experience the benefits of Privy before upgrading to a Pro account for nationwide access with an account that puts you fully in control. You’ll get many of the same practical benefits as a Pro account when you join PrivyLite.

If you’re a busy investor or if your portfolio is a side hustle, you can outsource the setup of your Privy account to a certified agent, helping you get online faster. It’s the perfect opportunity to learn from a Privy certified agent, who can share their market insights and help adapt your strategy to make it more responsive to market shifts.

PrivyLite is the key reclaiming your time, allowing you to stay on top of the latest market trends without spending hours deep-diving into documents. You’ll get everything you need to know in compact, easy-to-digest alerts and insights, sent straight to your inbox.

While you’re looking at properties and running your real estate comps, PrivyLite will work in the background to deliver you the latest data. Your curated alerts, aligned with your investment strategy, can help you determine whether your current strategy is working or if there are potential opportunities to explore elsewhere.

Here is how real investors benefit from using PrivyLite:

• Fix-and-flip investors use PrivyLite to spend more time focusing on their current projects, while monitoring their local market.
• Buy-and-hold landlords can utilize their custom alerts to identify changes in the rental market without spending time conducting daily MLS searches.
• Wholesalers can identify changes in investor activity trends to stay ahead of the competition and spot potential opportunities.

How to Use PrivyLite’s Agent Matching Service

One of the first things you’ll do after signing up for PrivyLite is being matched to a Certified Privy Pro Agent using our agent matching program. This free service connects new and experienced real estate investors with Certified Privy Pro Agents who are trained to identify and share investment-grade properties.

After you sign up for PrivyLite, you can request to get matched with an agent to put your deal flow on autopilot. Once you complete a brief form, we’ll match you with a Certified Privy Pro Agent who will send you tailored, investor-grade deals, powered by Privy, straight to your inbox for free. Depending on your chosen market, you can expect to receive up to 3 agents to choose from. The information you provide for agent matching is used solely for the purpose of identifying the best agent, based on your goals and location, and will not be shared outside this process.

With the help of your agent, you’ll receive curated deals directly to your inbox without needing a paid Privy subscription. It’s an easy way to expand your market knowledge and navigate the learning curve of becoming a real estate investor. One of the benefits of our agent matching service is that it creates the opportunity for a feedback loop. Your agent will monitor your alerts to ensure you’re receiving the right alerts and not too much or too few. They’ll adapt your filters and settings accordingly and can help you evolve your investing strategy as the market shifts.

Your chosen agent will be your data-driven partner, sending you the insights that help develop your natural instincts and market awareness. Although our matching service is designed to be used by PrivyLite users, you can continue to work with your chosen agent if you decide to upgrade your account to Privy Pro.

PrivyLite vs. Privy Pro for Experienced Investors

While PrivyLite is a starting point, many experienced investors choose to upgrade their account to Privy Pro to access nationwide data and advanced analytics. We’ve created our PrivyLite and Pro memberships to make our direct-to-MLS data as accessible as possible for investors at every stage of their journey.

Privy isn’t just a data reference; it’s an educational tool that can passively boost your market awareness and improve your deal making skills. Whether you want to build your instincts or find the next big opportunity, you can make the most of Privy’s direct-to-MLS data with custom alerts. It’s a risk-free way to start expanding your knowledge without signing a contract or paying for a monthly subscription. If you’re not a digital native, starting with a PrivyLite membership is a great way to learn how to navigate our Comparative Search engine. Once you sign up, a certified investor-focused agent will oversee your onboarding to ensure you get the most relevant alerts.

However, PrivyLite isn’t the best option for every investor. This free membership has fewer customization options and gives you limited control with access to only one market. By comparison, Privy Pro is designed for active and data-driven investors who want speed and data at their fingertips. With a paid monthly membership, you’ll get to choose between 1-state, 3-state, and nationwide data access.

When you join or upgrade to Privy Pro, you’ll have full control over your account and can set up filters, searches, and alerts to suit your current portfolio and growth strategy. Unlike Privy Lite, your information won’t be limited to just one market, creating a seamless workflow as you expand your portfolio into new neighborhoods.

With the option of a free PrivyLite account or customizable Pro membership, you can choose the option that best suits your workflow, tech skills, and preferred investing style. Many of our Privy Pro users began their journey with a free PrivyLite account before deciding to upgrade. It’s more than a free trial, and you can choose to stay with this account level indefinitely.

We recommend PrivyLite for investors who want the flexibility to set up alerts with the help of an agent and allow it to work in the background, while you focus on closing deals. Our comparative search engine will identify active listings that are likely to be successful, while PrivyLite will also give you access to LiveCMAs that showcase verified investor activity, so you can learn from proven investor strategies.  

How to Get Started with Privy Lite for Free Market Insights

It only takes a few minutes to get started with Privy Lite. Once you sign up and log into your account, you can start getting matched with a Certified Privy Pro Agent by completing a brief form about your investing preferences. Instead of having to navigate a new interface or dashboard, your agent will act on your behalf, using our patented Comparative Search technology to uncover deals that most investors miss by filtering opportunities by your buy box, budget, and target market.

After filing in your investing form, you’ll receive information for up to three agents who work in your chosen neighborhood or market. After reviewing their bios, you can choose the one that best suits your investing goals. With your new Privy agent, you’ll get a head start on using our Direct-to-MLS data with no subscriptions or contracts to worry about.
