StartUPTalk Radio: The Future of Real Estate Rentals With RentScoper.com

The Algorithmically Driven Apartment Rental Search Engine Was Developed By Bio-Engineering Doctoral Candidate, Jeremy Elser, And Nationally Known Real Estate Expert, Fred Glick
 
July 9, 2012 - PRLog -- Developed while studying the measurement of cells in the heart, Jeremy Elser, co-founder of  Rentscoper.com, created an algorithm to use for his own real estate investments in order to determine property location values.  He wanted to identify why one property is more expensive than another up the street, yet remains a better investment, for  locations he was unfamiliar with. After fine tuning it for his personal use, it was released with patents pending for the innovative heat mapper, Simulator and other features. The heat mapper has the ability to determine what any given property ought to rent for and can indicate if a property is under- or over-priced. This can save tenants unfamiliar with the area from overpaying.

Fred Glick and Jeremy Elser spoke with Cindy F. Solomon, Founder of The Global Product Management Talk and host of Startup Talk Radio, about Rentscoper.com and other innovative products in development.

Fred said, "Startup Talk Radio is a great  forum for talking about how startup ideas generate from founders’ personal involvements.  Thanks to Cindy for recognizing the compelling value of Rentscoper.com for solving the problem of searching for rentals even at this early stage in the product development. We look forward to talking with everyone interested in using and investing in Rentscoper.com and J-Shield."

About Jeremy Elser
In 2005, at age 19, Elser and his brother bought their first investment property, gutted it, flipped it for a profit and quickly moved on to their second property. By the third property, Elser was devoting what he considered to be too much time to tracking and forecasting, so he wrote an algorithm to simulate future earnings based on past data and it worked so well that he made the investment software publicly available at JBooksProfessional.com.

Meanwhile, in Elser’s life as a bioengineer, he was working on a project to measure cells in the heart and the algorithm developed in his work on the heart led him to apply the same algorithm that powers the RentScoper.com heat map. Elser used the algorithm with his own investments after learning the most difficult part was understanding the location of a property (i.e. why is this property more expensive up the street, yet a better investment?).
