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.
