Anyone have any good products or software they're using to find deals?

We have internal software to find deals and have closed 8 this year so far, it uses qualitative info rather than quantitative. Are you a commercial real estate investor only?

Im currently building an app thats going to change the game for this! lets connect

AI is a learning baby, which you need to training to help you

Understanding the pre foreclosure via consuming Lis Pendens if combined with employment, credit or other information sources could be interesting

@Stasiu Geleszinski pricing on foreclosure auctions is increasing. It used to be the domain of only flippers and now we are running across a lot more end buyers due to scarcity in the Northeast

That’s awesome, Richard—love that you’re leaning into qualitative signals. That’s exactly where we’ve been focusing too. We started with multifamily but the broader thesis applies across asset classes: it’s often not the numbers that tell the story first—it’s the human factors behind them. Sudden management shifts, tax delinquency paired with flat rents, or even operator burnout—those signals usually show up before price drops or listings. And yep, I’m mostly focused on commercial: multifamily, mixed-use, and some neighborhood retail where there's upside from better ops or repositioning. Would be curious to hear what kind of qualitative inputs your team finds most predictive? —Stash

I purchase via foreclosure auctions where AI won't add value

Appreciate that, James. Totally agree—foreclosure auctions are a different animal. That’s boots-on-the-ground, high-context stuff AI can’t replicate. That said, I’ve been curious: are you seeing more activity or better pricing at auction lately? And do you ever track what happens before a property hits that stage—like when owners are behind but haven’t been foreclosed on yet? That’s more the zone where I’ve been exploring signal-based sourcing (life events, portfolio fatigue, etc). Less about automation—more about pattern recognition. Curious what your radar picks up these days.
