The problem it solves

Finding off-market deals means digging through tax delinquency records, foreclosure filings, and probate notices across multiple government sources, one by one. That research eats a full day and still leaves gaps in owner contact information.

Who it fits

Real estate investors or wholesalers sourcing off-market and distressed property deals.

How it works

  1. The system searches public records for tax delinquent, pre-foreclosure, code violation, probate, and lien properties in your target area
  2. It gathers the owner's name, property address, and contact details for each
  3. The results are verified and organized
  4. The full lead list is saved to a spreadsheet
What you get

Off-market deals sourced before other investors see them

You get a ready-made list of distressed properties in your target area, complete with owner contact details.

What you get

A spreadsheet of verified, off-market distressed property leads with owner contact details.

What you need

A Google account and access to public property records.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
