In 8020REI, the "Others" category in Property Types is used to group all properties that do not fall under standard real estate classifications like Single-Family, Multifamily, Land, or Commercial.
It serves as a catch-all group for unusual, mixed-use, or non-residential assets that are still recorded in public records.
What Types of Properties Are Included?
This category may include:
- Industrial or utility infrastructure: factories, power plants, water treatment facilities 
- Transportation-related assets: railroads, pipelines, airports, roads 
- Government or public service buildings: hospitals, police/fire stations, prisons 
- Unique-use properties: zoos, monuments, military facilities 
- Agricultural or natural resources: farms, forestry land, oil/gas properties 
- Uncoded or misclassified parcels in county data 
These properties are often not relevant for most residential investors but may be valuable for niche strategies or data clean-up processes.
 
 
Why It Matters
Understanding what falls under “Others” can help you:
- Exclude irrelevant properties when filtering for marketing lists 
- Avoid skewing your lead scoring or market analysis with non-target assets 
- Spot unusual data patterns that might indicate misclassification or import errors 
Best Practices
- When applying property filters, we recommend excluding Others unless your investment strategy targets industrial, agricultural, or public-use assets. 
- If you're seeing a high number of Others in your list, consider reaching out to your Customer Success Manager to refine your BuyBox filters or data import rules.
