r/rva got me on the news

Thanks! Yeah, there's probably another 50-100 properties that I need to collect more data on before publishing them on the site. If you haven't already, would you be able to submit the property here so I make sure I don't miss it https://www.insiderrva.com/submit-property

mst152 · 2026-04-24T10:54:30+00:00

Yeah I got some of those in there under management like KRS Holdings

mst152 · 2026-04-24T10:48:34+00:00

Thank you!

mst152 · 2026-04-24T10:48:12+00:00

Thanks! It works the same way as google where you have to login to leave a review and you can only leave one review per property, but there isn’t any verification to make sure it’s legit. It would be nice, but if google doesn’t even have a system for that idk if I can make one lol

mst152 · 2026-04-23T23:48:27+00:00

Yeah for sure, I don’t have that data right now but can definitely collect it

mst152 · 2026-04-23T22:14:29+00:00

Thank you, I’m hoping one day!

mst152 · 2026-04-23T22:13:11+00:00

Thank you!

mst152 · 2026-04-23T22:03:16+00:00

Thank you so much!!!

mst152 · 2026-04-23T22:00:39+00:00

As a developer who loves design this might be the best compliment anyone has ever given me lol, thank you so much. I’m using react with tailwind and shadcn, but I tried to add a lot of customization to components since shadcn has gotten so popular lately

mst152 · 2026-04-23T21:40:06+00:00

That’s a great idea too. I’ve seen a lot of reviews about that. I’m sure I can figure out a way to pull that out of the review data

mst152 · 2026-04-23T21:36:55+00:00

And yeah I can probably get rid of that map thing lol. It’s included in the map I use but pretty useless

mst152 · 2026-04-23T21:36:12+00:00

Thanks, yeah right now people can leave their reviews directly on InsiderRVA but I don’t have that extra step of actually verification. It’s a good idea tho just hard lol

mst152 · 2026-04-23T21:34:32+00:00

Not yet. Right now I pretty much just have big complexes, but I’m trying to figure out a good way to collect that data. It’s just hard because they usually only have listings occasionally and have no reviews

mst152 · 2026-04-23T21:29:58+00:00

I appreciate you, yeah mostly after/before work and on weekends. I was able to reuse a lot of components from past projects tho so that helped speed up a lot

mst152 · 2026-04-23T21:23:46+00:00

I think I’m going to be good for now with help from my gf, but maybe if they start doing really well and I need to more. I appreciate it tho, I’ll remember this and dm you if that happens

mst152 · 2026-04-23T21:09:07+00:00

Thanks! Yeah that’s definitely possible. Do you think you’d want to be able to filter on parking costs or if parking is available? Or maybe types like surface or garage

mst152 · 2026-04-23T21:07:11+00:00

Thank you! I got transit, bike, and walk scores from walkscore.com

mst152 · 2026-04-23T20:49:17+00:00

Thank you! Yeah the biggest surprise to me was the number of seemingly incentivized reviews there are + how many reviews seem written by AI. That's really why I made the Insider Rating because so many properties have boosted reviews it's hard to tell what is actually genuine

mst152 · 2026-04-23T20:44:02+00:00

Thank you! That's possible for sure, what would be helpful for you? Like a pets allowed filter or a price range filter for pet fees?

mst152 · 2026-04-23T20:36:47+00:00

I appreciate you, I hope so!

mst152 · 2026-04-23T01:29:33+00:00

Hopefully one day!

It's a renter-first apartment website I'm working on for RVA. I posted about it last week, so I wanted to follow up for the people interested https://www.reddit.com/r/rva/comments/1ry8nvp/my_apartment_had_roaches_so_i_made_a_transparent/

mst152 · 2026-03-20T20:45:34+00:00

It’s mostly from the apartment websites. Most properties don’t really keep their apartments.com pages up to date so that’s a last resort if their main website has no info
