New here — building GroundVerity for property research

Hi everyone, I’m Mark. I recently started GroundVerity, a property-intelligence project focused on organizing and reconciling public-record data for real estate investors.

I’m currently working with Johnston County, NC data, including tax status, ownership, valuation, zoning, parcel information, and transfer history.

I joined BiggerPockets mainly to learn from investors who are actively looking for deals and understand what information is actually useful in practice.

Looking forward to learning from the community and connecting with people who invest in North Carolina and the Triangle area.

    Welcome, @Mark Andales . GroundVerity sounds like a useful project, especially because investors often lose time piecing together inconsistent information from multiple public sources.

    The biggest value may be less about presenting more data and more about making it trustworthy, current, and easy to act on. Clear ownership history, delinquent taxes, zoning or use discrepancies, recent transfers, and signals of distress can all help investors screen opportunities more efficiently—as long as the original source and update date remain visible. Starting with one county and learning directly from active investors is a smart way to build something practical. Best of luck connecting with the Triangle community.

    @Mark Andales, this caught my attention because I work with real estate investors and spend a lot of time looking at the legal side of properties. From my perspective, being able to quickly understand the ownership and recorded history of a property would definitely be useful, especially when an investor is deciding whether a deal is worth looking into further.

    I’ve worked on deals where something that looked fairly simple at first became more complicated once we started digging into title, ownership, or the recorded documents. Public record research can be a great starting point, but knowing where the information came from and being able to trace it back when something doesn’t line up is really valuable.

    Interesting project, @Mark Andales. It overlaps quite a bit with the due diligence side of the work I do with investors. I’d be happy to stay connected and see how GroundVerity develops as you get more feedback from people using this information in actual deals.

      Thanks, Diana. I really appreciate your perspective, especially coming from the legal side of real estate investing. The traceability piece you mentioned is actually one of the things I’m trying to get right with GroundVerity. Public records can look straightforward until different sources start telling slightly different stories.

      I want to make it easier to see where the information came from and flag the areas that may deserve a closer look rather than treating every record as automatically correct.

      I’d definitely like to stay connected. Your perspective on ownership, title, and recorded-document issues would be really valuable as I continue refining this.
