Is Trepp worth it ?
Is Trepp worth it for an investor looking to pick up Real Estate deals ?   I could totally see it being a massive asset for a broker but I'm failing to see that same benefit for a private investor.

It would be worth it, even if I only got 1 deal a year off of it but I'm not keen on plunking down $1250/month to see if there is any benefit.

So are there any other people out there using this service to buy real property ?



UPDATE :  Trepp is definitely not worth it for private investors looking to pick up property.  They gave me a free trial for only South Carolina.  I looked up about 20 properties and not one of them was listed in their data base.  I thought maybe there was an outside chance, that the data could be useful and it probably could with hours upon hours of research, but ultimately my time is better spent looking at actual deals.
