Scanning Houston, TX…
Live rows from the public-records index. Owner name and mailing street are masked on this page — the app shows the full record.
These numbers are read live from the index each time this page loads — the harvest total, the live tier, and the harvest date of the newest record. If the index is down, this panel says so rather than showing you yesterday's figure.
How the scan works
Builders buy a cheap house on expensive dirt, knock it down and build new. The money is in finding that lot — and the owner to write to — before the builder does. Here is exactly how the scan above decides. There is no model you can't inspect.
READ ONE
When the county publishes land value and improvement value separately, the ratio says it outright. A $221,000 parcel where the dirt is $193,000 and the structure is $28,000 is a teardown, according to the assessor.
Runs on the 28 built-in counties that publish the split.
READ TWO
Where only a total value is published, a parcel is compared against the average of the parcels actually returned in your envelope — real neighbours, never a national figure. An underbuilt lot in a pricier pocket surfaces on its own.
Nominal slivers, easements and common areas are excluded, not ranked.
READ THREE
Some counties publish geometry and an address and no values. Scan Los Angeles above and you get parcels mapped and zero scored, because that is the truth of the layer. Nothing is invented to fill the gap.
Gated, not faked — the rule the whole product is built on.
What it finds
Sourcing, enrichment, underwriting, outreach and routing in a single native app, working against free public records and your own accounts.
The Lot-Flip Scout you just used, running the full envelope on your own machine, with the owner and their mailing address attached to every row.
Paste a public probate or legal notice and the parser pulls decedent names and counties into leads. Real text parsing — no paywalled site is scraped.
When the mailing address differs from the property, the owner isn't living there. Both addresses come straight off the county roll.
Owner name, mailing address, assessed value and absentee signal off the county layer at no cost — a mailable target on day one.
Phone and email are in no free public source, so the app never invents one. Connect your own provider key and that tier turns on.
Fix-and-flip, buy-and-hold and wholesale in one analyzer, with Max Allowable Offer on a percent-of-ARV rule you set.
Every ARV carries its source label — sold comps, area average, or your own number.
Letter and sequence copy for the leads you choose, and a nearest-neighbour route over your scored list so a day of canvassing is a loop instead of a scramble.
Mail goes out through your own mail vendor account, billed to you. There is no dialer, texting or voicemail feature.
The math
The same formulas the app runs. Change anything and every line recalculates. No signup, no email wall.
An illustration of the formulas, not a forecast. Real returns depend on the property, the market and your own execution. Nothing here is investment, legal, tax or appraisal advice.
Coverage
Read live, right now. This is the honest map of what is harvested — not a list of states we intend to reach. If your market isn't here, the app still resolves any open county ArcGIS parcel layer you register yourself.

Before you buy
Every tool in this category has a page like this. Most of them hide it. Read this one before you spend a dollar — if any line is a dealbreaker, we would rather you knew now.
Owner phone and email are in no free public source, and the app will never invent one. Connect your own skip-trace provider key and that tier activates under your account and your bill.
There is no dialer and no messaging transport in the product. It writes letters and sequences; sending runs through your own mail vendor account.
36 open county layers ship built in, and the hosted index covers the counties listed above. Anywhere else you register the county's own open layer — or the app tells you there isn't one.
Opportunity gaps and ARVs are estimates with their source printed beside them. No guarantee, no projected income, no "average user earns".
Leads, notes, buyers and settings live in a local workspace on your machine. The public-records index answers parcel queries; it never receives your workspace.
It is software for research and underwriting. It does not provide brokerage, appraisal, legal or investment advice, and its output is not a consumer report under the FCRA.
