The Points of Interest (POI) section answers "what's around this property?" — the location-quality factors that drive demand, rents, and resale.
What's on this card
The card shows a map of what's nearby, Transit, Walk, and Fun scores (0–100), and the closest transit stop, grocery store, restaurant, cafe, gym, and school. Open the Points of Interest page for the full lists, grouped by category:
- Transit — subway, train, bus, and light-rail stops, with an estimated walking time.
- Schools — nearby schools.
- Groceries — supermarkets and grocery stores.
- Restaurants and Cafes — the closest dining options.
- Gyms — fitness options nearby.
Each POI has its name, distance, rating (where available), and a Google Maps link.
Where the data comes from
POIs are sourced from Google Maps place listings within a set radius of the property — roughly one to two miles, depending on the category.
How POIs flow into the analysis
The AI Summary references POIs explicitly when narrating the property's location story. The pro-forma uses POI data indirectly — its AI reads this section, alongside the other research sections, as context when estimating line items such as vacancy and leasing costs.
Editing & flagging
- Remove a POI. If a POI shown is closed or wrong, open the Points of Interest page, click Edit, remove it, and save.
- Add a custom POI. Useful for a place Relm didn't surface. In Edit Mode, use the add button under a category (for example Add School or Add Station), enter the name and address, and save. The custom POI applies to this property only.
Limits and caveats
- POI distances are straight-line. Transit stops also show an estimated walking time based on that distance; if you need to narrate "5-minute walk", confirm the actual walk in Google Maps.
- POI counts can mislead. A property near 30 fast-food restaurants isn't necessarily in a vibrant retail submarket — the type matters more than the count. Relm's POI summary captures both.
- Suburban / exurban properties may have very few POIs within a useful radius. That's not a bug — just be aware it's a thin section for those deals.
