§ 01

The whole board

Zillow shows you asking prices. We show you who's behind the deed,what they paid a decade ago, and whether the city's about to rezone their block.

Ownership that actually makes sense

LLCs, trusts, estates, and shell companies untangled. When an investor runs seven properties through six different LLCs, we link them.

Distress signals, not distress porn

A 0-100 score that weighs tax burden, sale recency, absentee ownership, and ten other signals. Not hype — math.

ADU feasibility in one click

Zoning rules applied to the parcel, setbacks computed, cost estimated, rent projected from HUD data, AI rendering on your actual property.

Development, before the neighbors know

Active planning proposals mapped across the city. See what's being filed, who's filing, and what zoning changes are pending.

§ 02

§ 03

The ADU play

“Madison dropped the owner-occupancy rule in April 2024. The bedroom cap fell in 2025. The 1,000 sq ft footprint no longer counts against the lot's accessory cap. If you're still operating on 2023 rules, you're leaving units on the table.”
