I'll keep you up to date once things get more momentum. ;)

I updated my post: a small team was excited to take on the task. Thank you for your implication though and have a great day! :)

In the end I found a small team that is interested in the task. :)

Sorry for the late reply but I had a very busy period. In the end, I found a small Greek ML company that was excited about the project and we entered deeper discussions. I also updated my post to reflect this. Have a great day! :)

Well, you'd get the pics AND the info on the livable area (total livable area, nr of rooms, a sketch of the place, livable area for each room, etc.).

Copy-pasting a comment of mine since it answers your question:

As far as I can tell, a few 100s of homes would be available to be used as a dataset.

I dunno if my English is that bad or people are in a rush when reading my post but: you get the images AND information about the residence itself (nr of rooms, total living space, space of each room, a sketch of the place, etc.).

Well, the thing is that my friend doesn't pitch ideas to people with money as a job. He's just friends with them and they go out for coffee/ dinner, sometimes they make a deal, etc.. So a "formal approach" for VC funding doesn't apply here.

Truly, a back-of-the-napkin idea won't catch anyone's eyes, that's why I'm searching for someone that can give some feasible milestones/ a timeframe and budgets for them and he will present that.

No, I'm European so I have no idea about the Zillow debacle sadly.

The outputs would probably be used as a price evaluator for the living space (my friend works as a registrar of new/ bought homes). Honestly I think the Zillow usecase might be desired ultimately.

Would you be interested? :)

Wow! Thank you for the concise yet complex reply!

Would you be interested in such a project? Based on your final sentence, I assume not. :(

A fair question. What information would you like me to provide?

This isn't an idea guy post. But to pitch something for funding, you need a rough estimate of time and costs and some deliverable milestones.

1). Not really. Data would have to be processed, but probably it can be introduced via a well structured form:

• Nr. of rooms/ bathrooms/ etc.
• Living space (square meters)
• pictures (probably another ML to gauge how furnished and well maintained/ dilapidated the whole place is)
• etc.

2). A great question! Zillow seems like a great example. As accurate as possible I guess. But a good starting point would be a price range.
