DeedShield
PropStream and DealMachine give you an address. We give you the address, our own after-repair value from live comps, an AI-scoped rehab from the parcel photo, a Go/Wait/Pass memo grounded in the numbers, and a shareable report the current owner can open and claim. That report is the trust artifact your cold outreach has been missing.
You configure a watchlist (metros, price ceiling, minimum spread). A daily cron scans every source, scores the candidates through our deal-math engine, and emails you the matches ranked by projected spread. Nothing you had to build yourself, nothing you had to pay a data broker for.
Active listings from HUD's ArcGIS feed. Real address, case step, listing lifecycle.
Freddie's REO inventory with real list prices, ready for the 70%-rule calculator.
Owners 2-3 years behind on property taxes. The closest thing to a pre-foreclosure feed NYC publishes.
Tired-landlord signal. Buildings with 5+ open violations rolled up by BBL.
Financial-stress signal. Owners with $2,500+ in outstanding DOB penalties.
ACRIS grantor pattern match (Estate of, Executor, Heir, Administrator) on recent deeds.
ACRIS deeds where the closing mailing address is out of NY/NJ/CT and the owner has held 20-30 years.
Fresh yearly filing. Small-multifamily rentals whose registered owner mails from outside the tri-state.
Parcels 2+ years delinquent that the county is selling the tax lien on. Sold-at-sale or forfeited.
Chicago analog of NYC HPD. 2M+ records refreshed daily, aggregated by address.
Municipal citations under Code 13-12-125. Often bank-owned REO with the entity named directly.
Imminent scheduled auctions with the case number, opening bid, plaintiff attorney, and sale date.
Parcels with $3k+ in unpaid real estate tax, aggregated from OPA's balance table. Residential only.
Licenses & Inspections code violations with 5+ open cases in the last 24 months per parcel.
L&I vacancy score 0.75 or higher. Only the strongest 'very likely vacant' signal surfaces.
Formally cited vacant properties with the LADBS abatement date. SFD, duplex, small multi only.
Open building-code enforcement cases aggregated per parcel, filtered to GENERAL + VEIP signals.
Open MDC code cases with lien-escalation ranking. Lien-recorded parcels lead the digest.
Travis County parcels with 3+ active cases in the last 24 months. Repeat Offender flag surfaced.
~20k Fulton residential parcels whose owner mails from out of state. Long-tenure landlord signal.
Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Houston, and Austin tax sales via the LGBS shared roster.
All pull from official public data. No scraped MLS. No broker-only feeds. Atlanta DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, and Clayton have HUD REO plus per-parcel baseline coverage today; per-county distress signals ship as we see demand.
Our estimator pulls the county's assessed value, applies class-appropriate ratios, blends live comparable sales, and applies a regional labor multiplier to the rehab template. No back-of-envelope.
For Cook parcels we fetch the assessor's exterior photo and send it through Groq's llama-4-scout to detect light/mid/gut scope. Rehab range recalculates from the model's call.
One-page senior-investor memo per match: verdict, confidence, key factors, 2-4 paragraphs of grounded reasoning. Weighted on timing signal from the source (sheriff sale date, tax cycle stage).
Turn on tracking. A weekly cron re-analyzes the match. If the verdict flips or the numbers move meaningfully (ARV ±10%, spread ±20%), we email you the new memo.
One click generates a token-gated /report/<token> page for the parcel. Send the URL in your cold outreach to the current owner; it opens without a login.
Add the owner's email + a personal note; we send the report from alerts@deedshield.net with a neutral template. The 10-25% retail-vs-flip disclaimer keeps it honest.
PropStream, DealMachine, and BatchLeads give you leads. We give you leads with a shareable trust artifact attached. When you cold-mail the owner, you’re not the fifth investor this week asking about their home. You’re the one who sent them a public-records report.
The report has a “Claim this home” CTA. If the owner takes it, they become a DeedShield user with free fraud monitoring, and the record is theirs to correct. You still make your offer. Now there’s a shared source of truth for both sides of the transaction.
Cancel from the billing portal any time. No annual contract. First refresh runs the moment you create your first watchlist.
