Built by an operator, for operators.

If you operate residential real estate at any meaningful scale, you spend more time chasing data than acting on it. County websites are slow and unreadable. Public records are split across a dozen systems. Foreclosure data sits behind ugly PDFs. Probate openings hide in court calendars. Rent comps require manually scraping six listing platforms to get a current picture.

The big institutional tools, CoStar, PropStream at scale, CoreLogic, cost too much, aim too high, and ignore the segment that does the actual work of small multifamily, residential flipping, and neighborhood-level landlording.

The result: operators waste hours every week assembling data that should arrive curated. Or worse, they don't bother, and they miss deals they should have caught.

Operators don't pay for information. They pay for time. Tuesday morning your inbox has a dossier of every distressed property worth looking at this week, already scored, already filtered, already with parcel data resolved. You spend twenty minutes deciding which to chase instead of two hours building the list.

That's the business. Convenience as a product. Operator-grade data, delivered on operator-grade timing, at operator-friendly pricing.

ParcelDeed is built by Josh Melendez, an active residential real estate operator in Colorado Springs. He runs a small multifamily portfolio with his partner Gavin Light at Plexi Properties, handles deal sourcing, lender relationships, property management oversight, and investor communications across portfolios in the Springs, Pueblo, and Denver.

ParcelDeed started as the foreclosure digest he built for his own portfolio. Every Tuesday morning a Python script scraped El Paso County's public trustee filings, cross-referenced parcel records, and emailed him a curated list of properties worth looking at this week. After enough other operators saw it and asked for access, the productized version became obvious.

Built by someone who uses the tool every week to find deals. Built for everyone else who would, if it existed.

ParcelDeed is being built deliberately. We're not chasing scale for its own sake, and we're not selling to whoever will buy. The product line, the pricing, the brand, are all aimed at one specific audience: small operators who do this for a living.

We launch with Distressed Intelligence for Colorado counties and expand from there: rent comparables, branded market reports, vacancy syndication, probate and eviction lead streams. One module at a time, each priced to pay for itself the first time a subscriber uses it.
