County-Level Distressed Property Data - Fresher Than the Big Platforms

Are you pulling pre-foreclosures and distressed leads from PropStream, PropertyRadar, or BatchLeads? Those tools refresh on their own schedule - often weekly or monthly. I pull the same county records they do, but on publish date, so the list you get is days fresher.

What I deliver (county by county):

- Trustee postings / notices of sale with the exact posting date - Dallas, Denton, Collin, Tarrant, and other TX counties. In Texas the window from posting to auction can be as short as 21 days, so that date is everything.

- NODs and lis pendens with recorded dates - CA, FL, GA, PA, and growing.

- Tax delinquent, vacancy, and absentee-owner signals, stacked per parcel when more than one applies.

- Owner mailing info with a contactability flag, in CSV or via API.

How it works: you tell me your counties and buy box, I send a free sample of 20-50 records first so you can compare the dates against whatever you are using today. No contract, pay per county per month.

Happy to answer questions here or in DMs.

    What if a service just pulled daily?

    I would be interested in industrial properties greater than 4 acres within city limits.

    Dallas, Tarrant, Collin county

    @ Yes, that should be technically feasible.

    Let me walk through the full workflow first — including the data sources, property filtering criteria, and how the daily results would be delivered. I want to make sure I understand the requirements correctly and that the process is reliable and scalable.

    I’ll get back to you soon with a proposed workflow and next steps.

    @Ronald Rohde Yes - daily is doable. Here's the honest version of what "daily" means across your three counties:

    • Tarrant: TAD's True Prodigy extract is officially refreshed daily, so we pull and diff it every morning.

    • - Dallas & Collin: their CAD rolls update on their own supplement cycles (Dallas = certified + supplemental; Collin via the state open data portal - the current file is dated early September). We crawl daily and diff as soon as those publish.

    • - Recorder-level changes (deeds, liens, foreclosure postings) are business-day events - that's where daily actually pays off, so the pipeline is built to surface them as they land.

    Will get back to you for further info.

    @Ronald Rohde — following up as promised. I ran your exact buy box end-to-end and built the pipeline that keeps it current. Proposed workflow:

    Dry run — industrial, >4 acres, city taxing jurisdiction:

    - Dallas / Tarrant / Collin: 1,294 parcels, ~22,840 acres (506 / 353 / 435)

    - Building coverage computed per parcel: 645 are under 15% coverage or have no building; 520 are 10+ acres.

    - I also cross-checked the distress channels against that base (trustee postings, tax-delinquent rolls, tax sales) — live matches exist; details in the sample.

    - Denton is included too (+462 parcels) — same pipeline.

    What runs on schedule:

    1. Daily (Mon-Sat, 10:00 CT) — clerk postings (trustee sales / notices of sale) re-pulled and diffed: new postings, cancellations, date changes. Texas posting-to-auction can be as short as 21 days, so daily is where this pays off.

    2. Weekly (Mon, 11:00 CT) — county tax offices' delinquent rolls diffed against your buy box: new delinquencies, amount changes, resolved parcels.

    3. Monthly — struck-off / resale lists and a one-page summary of what moved.

    Every record carries source and publish date, so you can audit freshness against your current tools.

    Two questions so the feed is right on day one:

    1. Industrial scope — everything classified industrial (data centers, self-storage, gravel plants), or only warehouse / flex / light-industrial plus vacant industrial land?

    2. "Within city limits" — is municipal taxing jurisdiction OK, or do you need parcel-level city-limits polygons with ETJ excluded?

    If useful, I'll send the full list and a sample delta feed by DM — or email if you prefer.
