The record of distressed property in American cities.

Red Property Book is a private intelligence platform for serious real estate operators. We score every distressed parcel in the markets we cover against fifteen signals, trace the owners hiding behind the LLCs, and surface direct owner contact the moment you need it.

The record

Not a lead list.
A live record of every distressed parcel.

Most distressed-property tools sell scraped lists, refreshed when convenient, scored by guesswork. Red Property Book is the opposite. We ingest from primary sources: city ArcGIS, DWSD water records, the Department of Administrative Hearings, BSEED code enforcement, and Wayne County tax data. Every record is normalized against the parcel layer and scored against fifteen distress signals daily.

Subscribers work from a shared, versioned record. If a parcel goes from "occupied and current" to "tax-delinquent and water-shutoff" between Tuesday and Wednesday, the record reflects it Wednesday morning, with timestamp, source, and change history. Reveal owner contact on-demand: pay once per parcel, free re-views forever.

The product surfaces

Three ways operators work with the Book.

Product 01

The Feed

Every distressed parcel in your ZIPs, scored and ranked.

Pick your ZIPs, set your distress threshold, and the dashboard delivers ranked entries against fifteen signals. Filter by absentee, LLC ownership, free-and-clear, leveraged portfolio, blight balance, water lien, tax forfeiture, default judgment, compliance gap, vacant registry, demolition history. Sort by score, acquisition cost, or blight debt. Refreshed daily on every plan. Every tier gets our proprietary distress signature, the one-glance distillation of all fifteen signals into a signal count and severity bars. What differs by tier is First Look: Territory sees a parcel the moment its distress spikes, ahead of Operator and Solo.

Cadence: daily · 5 / 12 / 28 ZIPs by tier
Product 02

The Reveal

Owner contact, on demand. Yours forever once revealed.

Click any lead to surface the owner's phone and email through built-in skip-trace — every number checked against the Do-Not-Call registry. For Michigan LLCs, we pull the real members from the state business registry first, then trace the person, not the shell. One credit per first-time reveal, then free re-views on that parcel forever — never re-charged for something you've already paid for.

Product 03

The Record

Exportable CSV plus Deal File reports per parcel.

Push qualified leads to CSV with one click. Monthly and daily caps prevent bulk extraction but leave plenty of room for normal acquisition workflows. Deal File reports document blight balance, water-lien position, ownership history, mortgage and tax-forfeiture status, and code-enforcement actions — citeable for offers, due diligence, and capital conversations.

Owner intelligence

Know who you're really dealing with.

Who's behind the LLC

About 44,000 Detroit parcels sit behind LLCs and other entities. For Michigan-registered owners, we match each one to its real members and registered agent through the state business registry — turning an anonymous holding company into a person you can actually call.

Source: Michigan LARA · members + agents
Free & clear vs. leveraged

We resolve every parcel to its true debt position. More than 24,000 owners hold free and clear, while blanket loans across a portfolio quietly leverage thousands more. Know who can actually sell before you ever make contact.

Wayne County mortgages + liens · resolved daily
One owner, every LLC

We cluster an owner's many LLC names into a single identity — 870+ owners unmasked so far — so you see the whole portfolio behind a name, whether they control three properties or ninety.

Why the data is different
MCL 123.161 water liens

Unpaid DWSD water debt becomes a priority lien that outranks the mortgage and survives sale. We pull it nightly from the water department, score it on the parcel, and price it into acquisition cost. Few operators surface this at parcel-level resolution.

Source: DWSD · refreshed daily
DAH default judgments

When a blight-ticket holder no-shows at the Department of Administrative Hearings, they enter a 21-day Motion-to-Set-Aside window. We track that window per parcel. It's a leverage signal most operators never see.

Source: DAH · Motion windows tracked
Compliance gap detection

Rental property without an active Certificate of Compliance is exposed to forced-sale leverage. We cross-reference the rental registry against BSEED CoC status and flag every gap. Pure regulatory arbitrage, surfaced daily.
