Absentee + Free & Clear
Owners who don't live there and own outright. The wholesaler's first stop — high motivation, no mortgage holder to negotiate around.
Pick a template. Tweak the criteria in plain English. PropGPT scans your market every morning, ranks new matches by motivation score, and removes properties that no longer fit — so the list you open tomorrow is the list you should be working today.
Each template is a working investor playbook — pre-tuned filters plus the columns that strategy actually uses. Pick one, point it at your market, refine in chat.
Owners who don't live there and own outright. The wholesaler's first stop — high motivation, no mortgage holder to negotiate around.
Empty houses where the owner has real skin to lose. Cleanest distressed signal we have — vacancy is hard data, not a probabilistic flag.
20+ years owned, low or no mortgage. The aging-out demographic — sells driven by life events, not market cycles.
Notice of default, lis pendens, auction-pending — straight from public record so it's legal everywhere. The most acute distress signal.
Recent all-cash buyers in your market. The dispo list — who's been buying at this price point, whose dialer should you be on.
PropStream, BatchData, and DealMachine all auto-refresh lists. The difference is what happens between refreshes — and how readable the score is when you open one.

Competitor capabilities reflect publicly documented behavior as of April 2026. Pricing and add-on models are not compared here — they change too often for a static page.
We publish the recipe: 45% distress signals, 35% equity, 20% ownership tenure, capped at 100. No black-box ML model that may or may not match your market. You can see why a property scored 87, agree or disagree, and tune your pipeline accordingly.
“Add a flood-zone exclusion to my Free & Clear list.” “Lower the equity threshold to 30 — I want more reach.” PropGPT edits the criteria, validates against the field schema, and reruns. No leaving the conversation, no rebuilding the list from scratch.
When a property stops matching, it moves to a Recently-removed tab with the reason — “equity dropped below threshold,” “owner sold,” “you removed manually.” Full 90 days of history. Audit your funnel; learn why deals fall out.
Toggle skip-trace per list, set a per-refresh budget ($25 default, $100 cap). PropGPT pulls phones + emails for new matches up to your budget and stops. No surprise per-record bills, no separate tool, no dialer-import dance.
Pick a template now. PropGPT runs the first refresh on the spot and a fresh batch lands every morning after that. Cancel anytime — you keep the lists you built.
