What are your favorite CRE programs/databases/websites?
I'm a broker working on a cell tower deal, and this morning I was searching for programs that automatically calculate building height. I came across Lightbox, and it made me wonder what others are using for real estate tech. Any recommendations or hidden gems? I'm not looking for anything specific, and not necessarily looking for comp data (I have Costar, Crexi, MLS, etc). I'm more interested in geographic/spatial data.
