Set a price range you're comfortable with, and tick Mapped only.

Open a property.

Start with the Research Score, then the estimated value range, and how confident that estimate is.

Then the risk flags. In a deed sale, liens that survive the sale and a structure we couldn't confirm matter most.

Run the rehab and flip analysis to see what's left after repairs, holding costs, and selling.

Back on the property, download the parcel report as a PDF, to keep with your notes.

Watch the property and mark it as a bid candidate. Tick Saved only at any time to see your shortlist.

That's tax deeds: from a county to a property you're ready to bid on.
