Made for the searches filters can’t handle

If a portal’s saved search already finds your home, you don’t need MapBeacon. It’s for the searches with trade-offs.

≈Waterfront and vacation homes“A lake house within two hours of Boston, swimmable water, privacy.” Water is checked on the map, not taken from a checkbox.

$Investors“A 2–4 family under $900K, under 90 minutes away, where rents cover the costs.” Rent, cash flow and cap rate on every home.

⌂House hackers“A multifamily in Cambridge or Somerville I can live in, $5K a month after the other units’ rent.”

⌗Renters“A 1-bedroom near the Red Line under $2,000, cats OK, move in by December 1.” New rentals checked every 2 hours — good ones go fast.

➚Relocating“Within 45 minutes of this office, a walkable town, under $1.2M.” Drive times from the exact address.

▲Land and unusual propertiesAcreage and land for the money, workshops, in-law units, horse property, views — said in your words, rated on every home.

Everything in one place

From the first search to the offer.

🗺Search the way you thinkAnywhere in the US: named regions (MetroWest, the Lakes Region, Florida’s Gulf Coast), transit lines, “near” anything on the map, drive times from any address.

✓Honest checksEvery criterion is met, unmet or unknown — never guessed. An AI second opinion rates every home and checks nothing you said was missed — labelled as opinion, never a verdict.

↑Best value firstBargains, price cuts, price per acre, taxes and waterfront rank up; each home says why it moved.

$Investor numbersRent for every home from nearby rentals, cash flow, cap rate, cash-on-cash and DSCR at today’s rates — with a what-if.
