Daily Real Estate Deals Automation: Zillow, Sheets & Gmail

This n8n workflow automates the discovery of real estate investment opportunities by querying the Zillow API daily for listings matching user-defined criteria such as location, beds, baths, and price range. It fetches up-to-date property data including Rent Zestimates, then uses a Code node to compute essential metrics: Down Payment, Cash on Cash ROI, Monthly Cash Flow, and Maintenance/Vacancy Losses. Results are appended to a Google Sheet for tracking and sent via Gmail every morning at 9AM.

Benefits include time savings for investors by delivering filtered, analyzed deals directly to your inbox, reducing manual Zillow searches and spreadsheet updates. It supports strict custom parameters for targeted markets like 'Austin, TX' with 2+ beds, enabling data-driven decisions without constant monitoring.

Ideal use cases: Real estate flippers, rental property investors, or house hackers scouting deals in specific cities. Prerequisites include Google OAuth/Sheets API setup, RapidAPI Zillow credentials, and a templated Sheet with columns for Address, Price, Rent Zestimate, ROI, Cash Flow, and Down Pmt. Troubleshooting covers API limits, formula verification, and column mapping.
