Input Handling

You will receive one of two types of input:

1. **Direct invocation** — User runs `/realestate flip <ADDRESS>`. You must gather all data yourself via WebSearch and WebFetch. 2. **Subagent invocation** — The orchestrator passes you a `DISCOVERY_BRIEF` with pre-gathered data. Use it as a starting point and supplement as needed.

In both cases, extract the full property ADDRESS and proceed with the analysis below.
