Most Florida lead lists are built from public records you can check yourself. The edge isn't buying the list first. It's knowing which records actually signal a motivated seller, and stacking them. Here's what to look for 🧵
I'm teaching AI to spot houses in trouble from the sky.
Tarped roofs. Missing shingles. Yards nobody has touched in months.
Then I stack that with court filings, tax records, and ownership data, so investors can see which owners are under pressure before it shows up on a lead list.
The AI was the fun part. The real work is every county, each with its own records system and its own formats.
Next.js, Supabase + PostGIS, Python workers. Almost at launch.

The hardest part of wholesaling isn't finding sellers. It's finding buyers who will actually close.
A contract you can't assign isn't a deal. It's a liability with your name on it.
Build the buyers list before you build the seller list.
Wholesaling isn't really about finding cheap houses. It's about finding owners with a deadline.
A foreclosure sale date. A tax deed application. An estate that has to close.
Motivation you can see on a calendar beats motivation you have to guess at.

8/ Doing this by hand across 67 counties is brutal. Every clerk, property appraiser, and tax collector runs its own system. That's what we're building: one place that stacks these signals statewide. Early access: https://t.co/ZavyZqbda3

7/ The edge is stacking. One signal is a maybe. A lis pendens on an absentee-owned house that just lost homestead and still has a tarp on the roof is a seller with a problem and no plan. Most investors only look at one list at a time.
@RobertMSterling When every listing is a knife fight, the only real edge left is not being on the listing. Off-market deals from probate, pre-foreclosure, and tired landlords never see a bidding war. Harder to find, but that's the point.
@sweatystartup The flip side of that friction: when someone needs out fast (foreclosure, probate, divorce), they can't wait six months. That's where a lot of the discounts come from. Illiquidity protects the patient owner and pays the patient buyer.
@NickMaccini Getting leads is easy now. That's the problem. If you can buy a lead, so can everyone else, and you're rarely the first call. The edge is catching distress at the source (court and tax records) before it hits a list.
