Propertiz reads Dallas County's public records every night: code cases. It ties each record to one of the county's parcels (there are about 762,000) and ranks the owners in Dallas and the rest of the county who may have a reason to sell.
- Every parcel and owner from the Dallas Central Appraisal District, about 762,000 parcels, with bedrooms, baths and year built
- City of Dallas code-violation service requests (311)
- HUD market rents and DSCR at your purchase price (equity shows as unknown, since Texas doesn't disclose sale prices)
Not yet included: Foreclosure notices; Unpaid property taxes; Probate filings; Evictions; Sale prices (Texas does not disclose them).

How distress shows up in Texas
Texas allows both court foreclosures and out-of-court trustee sales, so a property can show up as a lawsuit with a lis pendens or as a recorded sale notice, depending on the loan.
Texas sells tax-delinquent property at a tax sale, and the owner keeps a right to redeem for a period after the sale.
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.
