Hey Larry, quick recommendation for your photo at the end - you should probably get a better professional photo that conveys reliability and confidence in your body language, or at the very least, flip the image so it draws readers' eyes toward the text. Ex. https://imgur.com/a/0tb01

#32This is such buzzword powered horseshit. Absolutely nothing about this problem domain requires Deep Learning. Simple regression models if implemented properly can do just fine. Not to mention that sites like Redfin/Zillow have access to far more data and already have pretty good models for the most part. Just because you can throw a Neural net at a given problem, doesn't make it the right thing to do... I'd be a lot…
Does it make it the wrong thing to do? I've never seen anyone so mad at someone for their technical decisions. Redin/Zillow et al won't show you cap rates.

Tie unloosened, good mix of casual + business like.
Can't detect any obvious lack of confidence.
Making his head point towards the text seems like one of those cheesy commercials where a smiling person points at the text next to them.

#36This reminds me of a question I've long had – is there no legal restriction on starting a real estate listing service?

#38Pressing the button without entering an email results in a popup that says: Error! Please contact us at founders@larryscheaphouses.com and we'll figure out what's going on. Considering the number of people that are going to glance over the text and assume that the button lets them see the deals you might want to have some basic help text.

Really? I think the photo's OK. Tie unloosened, good mix of casual + business like. Can't detect any obvious lack of confidence. Making his head point towards the text seems like one of those cheesy commercials where a smiling person points at the text next to them.
Also, looking down and away from another person is not confidence inspiring. I don't think I need to cite research in order to point that out.
