This is my first time participating in a 403b and the fees are ungodly and the market has been anything but sexi.

Is there an app to target specific houses or streets for when they go on market?

There are certain houses located along certain portions of some roads that I don't drive by regularly. But I would love to know if any of them ever go on the market.

Or, is there any other low effort way of doing this?
