We signal potential sales before they become leads.
An owner with a reason to sell leaves a public record long before a listing. Propertiz reads those records every night in 17 counties across 4 states (Florida, Indiana, Ohio and Texas), ties each one to a property, runs the numbers and tells you why the owner might sell.

How a sale shows up before it's a lead
By the time a house is on Zillow or the MLS, every buyer in town has seen it. The reasons to sell show up earlier: a foreclosure filing, a tax bill gone unpaid, a code case, a sheriff or trustee sale date.
Collect
Every night, read what each county and city publishes: foreclosure filings, sale notices, unpaid taxes, code cases, and evictions and probate where the court posts them. Plus every parcel and owner on the county roll.
Match
Tie each record to exactly one property by parcel number, address, legal description, case number or owner name. Ambiguous ones wait for review instead of guessing.
Underwrite
Put an estimated value, HUD market rent, equity and DSCR at your price on every property, each labeled with where it came from.
Rank & explain
Score each owner on published points that fade with time, filter by your buy box, and list every reason a lead ranks where it does.
Example. The Duval County Clerk indexes a new foreclosure filing (a lis pendens) on Tuesday. Propertiz reads it that night, and on Wednesday morning it's on your Jacksonville list: matched to the house, with the owner and mailing address, equity from the mortgages recorded against it, and the DSCR at your price. If it fits your buy box, it's in your next daily alert.
Next-morning filings need a county that posts them daily, and a paid plan or the trial: Free shows new filings after 7 days. Each county page says how often each of its sources updates.
What a lead looks like
Each lead shows where its signals came from, the points every reason adds, and the numbers for a rental loan. Three examples from three states:
- Notice of trustee's sale: auction on the first Tuesday of next month+20
- Tax bill mailed to another address (absentee)+10
- Owner lives out of state+8
- No homestead exemption+5
Value is the appraisal district's: Texas doesn't disclose sale prices.
- Unpaid property taxes, 2+ years+20
- Open code violation: condemnation order+10
- Tax bill mailed to another address (absentee)+10
- Owned 15+ years+8
- No homestead exemption+5
- Foreclosure filed (lis pendens), 21 days ago: 30 points, fading+27
- Estimated equity 50%++10
- Tax bill mailed to another address (absentee)+10
- Owned 15+ years+8
Illustrative examples, not real properties. Points follow the published scoring.
Every reason an owner might sell, in one list
One signal is a maybe. An owner behind on taxes, with an open code case, who lives in another state, is a conversation worth having. Propertiz stacks the signals on each property, adds a bonus when they come from three or more kinds of distress, and shows the points each one adds.
Foreclosure filings
The first public sign a lender is foreclosing: a lis pendens or new court case where foreclosure goes through the courts, a notice of trustee's sale in Texas.
Pre-foreclosure list →Auction dates
Sheriff, trustee and tax sales with their dates, so you reach the owner while there's still time.
Pre-foreclosure list →Bank-owned (REO)
Homes a lender just took back at a foreclosure sale, newest certificates of title first.
Unpaid property taxes
Delinquent tax balances, tax certificates and tax-deed applications from the treasurer or tax collector.
Motivated seller leads →Code violations & vacant buildings
City and county code cases, code liens, condemnations, board-ups and vacant-structure orders.
Motivated seller leads →Probate estates
New estates opened after an owner died, often heirs who would rather sell than manage a house.
Motivated seller leads →Evictions
Landlord filings in the eviction courts: a rental owner with a problem tenant.
Motivated seller leads →Owner situation
Absentee and out-of-state owners, long ownership, no homestead exemption and high estimated equity. These add points to a lead but never make one on their own.
Absentee owner lists →Read from the county, not resold
Many national lead apps license the same nationwide data feeds, so the same owners reach every subscriber on the feed's schedule. Propertiz doesn't buy lead data. It reads each record from the office that filed it.
From the office that files it
Clerks, courts, treasurers, sheriffs, assessors, appraisal districts and code departments. HUD rents, FEMA flood zones and Census figures fill in the rest. No purchased lead lists.
Read every night
Every live county runs each night. Where the county posts filings daily, new ones are on your list the next morning. Where it posts weekly or monthly, the county's page says so.
Only what the county publishes
Counties publish different records, and we say which. Each county page lists what's included and what isn't yet, instead of filling the gaps with guesses.
Underwritten before you open it
Every lead comes with the numbers you'd check before a letter or an offer, and each one says where it came from.
Value
In some counties, our valuation model: nearby comparable sales adjusted to the home, with a range and a confidence grade. Elsewhere, recent comparable sales in the same zip where the county records sale prices, else the county's appraised value, and the lead says which. Texas doesn't disclose sale prices.
Rent
HUD Small Area Fair Market Rent for the zip code and bedroom count: a conservative figure, not an optimistic one.
DSCR
Rent against principal, interest, taxes on your purchase price, insurance and HOA, with each state's typical rates unless you set your own.
Equity & mortgage
In Jacksonville, Lakeland and Palm Bay, from the mortgages and satisfactions recorded with the Clerk. Elsewhere, estimated from the last sale, or "unknown" when the records can't support it.
Free and clear
Where every recorded mortgage has been satisfied, the lead says the owner is free and clear: in those three counties and in Tampa.
Max offer
Each lead's deal analyzer works out your maximum offer as a wholesale, a flip, a rental or a BRRRR, next to its comps and distress timeline.
Every lead traces back to the record
You should be able to check a lead before you write to the owner. Here is what stands behind each one.
The record behind each signal
Each signal shows its source and filing date, the case or document number where the agency publishes one, and a link to the original record where one exists.
Archived as fetched
Every response we fetch from a county is archived and never overwritten, so any county's data can be rebuilt from exactly what the county published.
Checked every night
After each county's run, automatic checks confirm every source was read on schedule, its raw response archived and its records tied to the county.
Where the records come from
Every source is a public record, open under each state's public-records law. We follow each site's terms, never get around logins or CAPTCHAs, keep request rates polite, and file records requests where data isn't published online.
Florida Ch. 119, F.S.Indiana IC 5-14-3Ohio R.C. 149.43Texas Tex. Gov't Code ch. 552
How the numbers work
No black boxes. Here is how Propertiz decides which owners are worth a letter, and how often it's right.
Every record tied to one house
Most court filings don't print a parcel number. Each record is matched by parcel number, address, legal description, case number or a unique owner name. A probabilistic matcher accepts a match on its own only at 97% confidence with a clear lead over the next candidate. Anything less waits for a person, because mailing the wrong owner is worse than missing one.
82% of 346,056 public records in the app are tied to exactly one property today.
Points that fade with time
Each signal adds published points that fade by half-life. Later stages replace earlier ones, a sale date that has passed drops out, and owners with signals in three or more categories get a stacking bonus. Every lead lists its points, reason by reason.
Checked against what happened next
A logistic-regression model trained on past foreclosure filings and what happened next: did the owner sell within six months? It uses the foreclosure stage, how long the owner has held the property, what they paid against today's value, the price band, the age of the building, whether it's multifamily and how distressed the zip code is. It's retrained every week.
On the 1,645 past filings it learned from, owners in the model's top 10% sold 3.3× more often within six months. On a random fifth of those filings, set aside before training (329), pick one owner who sold and one who didn't, and the model ranks the seller higher 67% of the time (a coin flip would be 50%).
These are checks on past filings, not yet a forward test that trains on older filings and scores newer ones. Measured on Florida foreclosure filings so far: Texas doesn't disclose sale prices, and the other states are still building their history. Shown on a lead only when it's at least 1.3× the average.

Frequently asked questions
What is Propertiz?
Propertiz signals potential sales before they become leads. Every night it reads county and city public records, such as foreclosure filings, sale notices, unpaid property taxes, code cases and, where the court publishes them, evictions and probate. It matches each record to a property, underwrites it with value, rent, equity and DSCR, and ranks the owners most likely to sell, with the reasons behind every score.
How is it different from a national lead list?
Propertiz doesn't buy lead data. It reads each record from the county or city office that filed it, every night, and archives what it fetched. Each signal shows its source and filing date, and a case number and a link to the record where the agency publishes them. Coverage is listed county by county, including what isn't there yet.
How much does it cost?
Free shows one home county in full, owners included, with new filings after 7 days and a weekly alert; every other county shows its counts, map and sample leads. Scout ($19/month) adds new filings as soon as they're read and daily alerts in that county; Hunter ($49) covers every live county in one state, and Closer ($99) every live county. Every account starts with 14 days of Closer, no card. Without an account you see every county's counts, map and sample leads.
Do you have owner phone numbers?
Not yet. Each lead has the owner's name and mailing address from the county roll, which is what direct mail needs. Phone and email lookups aren't part of any plan today.
Which areas does Propertiz cover?
17 counties across 4 states, added one county at a time. Live today: Florida: Hillsborough County (Tampa, about 527,000 parcels), Orange County (Orlando, about 492,000 parcels), Duval County (Jacksonville, about 405,000 parcels), Polk County (Lakeland, about 434,000 parcels), Brevard County (Palm Bay, about 351,000 parcels) and Lake County (Clermont, about 216,000 parcels); Indiana: Marion County (Indianapolis, about 347,000 parcels) and St. Joseph County (South Bend, about 119,500 parcels); Ohio: Franklin County (Columbus, about 494,000 parcels), Cuyahoga County (Cleveland, about 513,000 parcels), Hamilton County (Cincinnati, about 420,000 parcels), Montgomery County (Dayton, about 273,000 parcels), Stark County (Canton, about 199,000 parcels), Lorain County (Elyria, about 172,000 parcels) and Clermont County (Batavia, about 103,000 parcels); Texas: Harris County (Houston, about 1,628,000 parcels) and Dallas County (Dallas, about 762,000 parcels). Planned after that: Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Pinellas, Pasco, Seminole, Osceola, Allen and Vanderburgh counties.
Where does the data come from?
County and city public records: the property appraiser, auditor or appraisal district for parcels and owners, the clerk or recorder for recorded documents and court filings, the treasurer and sheriff for unpaid taxes and sales, and city and county code enforcement. On top of that come HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, FEMA flood maps and local zoning codes. Each county page lists exactly which records are included there.
Is it the same data in every county?
No. Counties publish different records in different ways, so coverage is listed county by county. For example, Propertiz has foreclosure filings in Tampa, Jacksonville, Lakeland, Palm Bay, Clermont, Cincinnati and Dayton, foreclosure sale notices in Canton, Elyria, Batavia and Houston, and unpaid property taxes in Orlando, Jacksonville, Indianapolis, South Bend, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Canton, Elyria, Batavia and Houston. Each county's card shows what's included and what isn't yet.
Can I use Propertiz for wholesaling?
Yes. Wholesalers use it to find distressed owners with real equity before other buyers do. Wholesaling rules differ by state, and some states restrict marketing a property you don't own or control, so have a local real-estate attorney review your contracts and assignments.
How is DSCR calculated?
DSCR is market rent divided by the monthly payment: loan principal and interest plus property taxes, insurance and HOA. Propertiz computes taxes on your purchase price, because the seller's current bill often reflects exemptions or assessment caps that end when the property sells. Try the free DSCR calculator to run your own numbers.
How often is it updated?
Every live county runs every night. Where the county posts filings daily, new ones are on paid plans' lists the next morning; some counties publish records weekly or monthly, and each county page says how often each source updates. Scores fade as signals age, so fresh distress rises to the top.
