Source: Texas Signals — aggregate county data.

A structured walkthrough of every major feature — one per day — so you can find motivated sellers, identify distress clusters, and decide whether $29/mo belongs in your deal-finding stack.

Day 1: Intelligence Score

The proprietary 1-100 scoring system ranks every property by distress level. Higher scores mean more overlapping signals — pre-foreclosure filings, tax delinquency, code violations, declining CAD values, and equity spread.

Day 2: Filter by City and ZIP

Narrow to your target market across 254 counties. Sort by equity to find properties where the owner has room to sell below market.

Day 3: Map View

Identify distress clusters — geographic concentrations of high-scoring properties that signal neighborhood-level financial pressure.

Day 4: Cash Buyers

See who is actively buying with cash in your ZIP codes. Build your buyer list from real transaction data, not networking events.

Day 5: Pre-Foreclosures

Track properties heading to auction with confirmed dates. High-equity pre-foreclosures are wholesale gold.

Day 6: New RE LLCs

Exclusive data no competitor has. Newly filed real estate LLCs signal new investors entering the market or existing investors expanding.

Day 7: Export and Decide

Save your best leads, export CSV for skip tracing, and determine if the leads you found justify $29/mo.
