Propertiz reads Duval County's public records every night: recorded documents, mortgages, foreclosure cases and tax sales. It ties each record to one of the county's parcels (there are about 405,000) and ranks the owners in Jacksonville and the rest of the county who may have a reason to sell.
- Every parcel and owner from the Duval County Property Appraiser, about 405,000 properties
- Lis pendens, foreclosure judgments and certificates of title from the Clerk's Official Records
- Upcoming tax-deed sales with the sale date and opening bid

How distress shows up in Florida
In Florida, foreclosure goes through the courts. The lender files a foreclosure lawsuit in the county court, the court enters a judgment, and the property is sold at a public auction run by the clerk or the sheriff. Each step is a public record, so an owner's situation shows up months before a sale, while there is still time to sell on their own terms.
Unpaid property taxes in Florida are sold as tax certificates; if the owner doesn't redeem in time, the certificate holder can apply for a tax deed, which ends in the owner losing the property.
Every record is matched to a single property before it counts, then each property is underwritten as a rental: estimated value, equity, HUD market rent and DSCR at your purchase price. A lead's score explains itself, signal by signal, so you can see why an owner made the list.
