Our Process

From first contact to closed transaction.

01
Source

We screen county records, tax rolls, code enforcement databases, and court filings to surface motivated sellers before properties ever reach the market.

02
Score

Our 100-point distress model ranks every property by owner motivation — tax delinquency, fire code violations, occupancy trends, ownership patterns.

03
Contact

AI-personalized outreach letters reach owners at the right moment. We build relationships months before any sale becomes official.

04
Underwrite

Institutional-grade financial modeling, market analysis, and deal structuring — every acquisition is underwritten to the same exacting standard.

05
Close

We move in 5 days and close in 30–45. Direct principal-to-owner transactions with no broker middlemen and no auction pressure.

Distress Intelligence

We score every property before we reach out.

Our 100-point motivation model surfaces the highest-probability acquisitions — owners facing the conditions that drive off-market decisions.
