Who is this for? Real estate investors and analysts evaluating buy-and-hold rentals, BRRRR deals, or any property where you want to triangulate rent estimates from multiple sources rather than trusting a single Zestimate.
What does it do? Send a property address in the chat panel and the AI Agent pulls rental data from three independent sources, then returns a side-by-side tabular comparison so you can quickly see the spread between estimates.
How it works 1. Chat Trigger — you send a property address (and ideally bed/bath count) via the chat panel 2. Zillow Rent — calls the Apify Zillow Detail Scraper actor and extracts the rentZestimate 3. Rentometer — pulls local rent comparables (mean, median, percentiles) 4. Zipcode-to-CBSA — converts the property's ZIP code into a HUD CBSA code 5. HUD Fair Market Rent — uses the CBSA code to fetch government-published Fair Market Rent for the metro 6. AI Agent — synthesizes all four sources into a markdown table with a brief recommendation
Set up steps - Add OpenAI credentials to the Chat Model node (default model: GPT-4.1-mini) - Register for a free HUD User API key at huduser.gov and add it as a Bearer Auth credential — referenced by both HUD nodes - Get an Apify API token and subscribe to the maxcopell/zillow-detail-scraper actor - Get a Rentometer API key at rentometer.com and add it as a Bearer Auth credential
Setup time: ~10 minutes once you have all four API keys.
