Real estate investor Jackie Coffey launches app targeting after-repair values

Real estate investor and educator Jackie Coffey has launched the Jackie The Happy Investor App, a web-based platform designed to help novice investors evaluate residential real estate deals without relying on access to a multiple listing service (MLS).

Coffey posts investor content to an audience of more than 107,000 followers on TikTok under the name Jackie The Happy Investor. The new platform allows users to analyze properties, review comparable home sales and estimate after-repair values by entering a U.S. property address.

The platform provides nearby comparable sales data, including property addresses, distance, bedroom and bathroom counts, and sale prices.

It also includes a calculator based on the industry-standard “70% rule,” which investors commonly use to estimate whether a property may be profitable after renovation costs, Coffey said.

“I know what it feels like to need information you can’t get — and to watch deals slip away because you don’t have MLS access or a Realtor on speed dial,” she said. “I built the tool I wished existed when I started. Now everyday investors have it for $37.”

Additional features include a directory called Find My Team, which connects users with investor-focused service providers, including real estate agents, contractors, mortgage lenders, title companies, attorneys and accountants by ZIP code.

The platform also stores users’ property searches and includes an artificial intelligence assistant trained on Coffey’s investing methods to answer questions about financing, rehabilitation costs and deal structure.

Additional tools include a renovation cost estimator that adjusts pricing based on local markets and mobile applications for iOS and Android devices.

The company also offers directory listings for contractors, real estate agents, title companies and other vendors for a monthly fee.

Coffey said the platform was created to address what she describes as an information gap for new investors entering the real estate market.

“The information gap is the single biggest reason new investors fail,” she added. “The pros have tools that cost hundreds a month. Beginners have guesswork. That’s what I’m fixing.”
