    A real (sanitized) report — every number links to its public source.

    The problem

    Most flip losses are locked in at the moment you buy

    Portal estimates and gut feel keep missing the same four things:

    ✕

    The ARV is wrong

    Algorithm estimates aren't comps. Overprice the resale by $30–50k and the entire profit is gone before demolition starts.

    📐

    Square footage that isn't there

    The MLS said 3,367 sqft; county records say 2,483 above grade plus an unfinished basement. That "price per sqft" was off by 36%.

    ⚠

    Fake “sold” records

    Foreclosure and partial-interest transfers show up as normal sales on the big portals. Anchor your ARV on one and the whole model is broken.

    👤

    Negotiating blind

    A bank clearing its books and a couple who owned for 36 years respond to completely different offers. Most analyses never look at who is selling.

    The product

    How deep each report goes

    Everything below is in the sample report you can open right now:

    ⇄

    Three-source cross-check

    Zillow ↔ Redfin ↔ county records. Facts are only accepted when sources agree — conflicts are adjudicated by the county.

    🏛

    Comps verified at the county

    Every comparable sale is checked one by one against county excise records — date, price, and whether it was a real arm's-length sale.

    📏

    Area-breakdown detection

    Above-grade vs basement split pulled from county building records, so $/sqft is computed on space that actually exists.

    🎯

    Seller motivation profile

    Ownership history, taxes, exemptions, foreclosure status — who is selling, why now, and how they are likely to negotiate.

    🧮

    Full deal math

    Hard-money interest, selling costs, holding costs — a 9-cell sensitivity matrix plus a live drag-to-recalculate calculator.

    🤝

    Negotiation reference lines

    Break-even, $30k-profit and $50k-profit purchase prices, computed for every house — know your walk-away number before you talk.

    ✓✓

    Independent second review

    A second pass re-verifies the numbers, facts and links; any corrections are logged inside the report itself.

    🔗

    Every number cites a source

    Click any figure — assessed value, comp price, tax status — and land on the public record it came from.

    Buy at the right price

    Walk into every negotiation already knowing the break-even line and the price at which the deal actually pays. Counter-offers stop being guesswork.

    🛡

    Dodge the $40k mistakes

    Area traps, fake comps, weak-school ceilings, structural red flags — surfaced before you write the offer, not after the inspection.
