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.
Up to 15 monitored properties and unlimited watchlists. The trial starts the moment you sign up and nothing is charged when it ends: your watchlists and everything they found stay in your account. Cancel from the billing portal any time, no annual contract.
