Your Reality Check

Here's what the numbers say about your current setup.

Pieces mailed to dead leads monthly ~1,493 pieces
Money burned on dead leads -$1,120
Monthly tool overhead $800
Your time managing campaigns $2,600/mo
Most aggregators license from First American — typical lag is around 14 days, sometimes much more, sometimes same-day. Direct-courthouse sources aren't affected by it.
Your real monthly cost isn't just your mail budget. It's: $8,520

Stale, Unranked Lists

Your monthly mail spend$4,000
Spend landing on owners who already sold or aren't really distressed-$1,120
Pieces reaching live sellers3,840

Fresher, Ranked County Data

Your monthly mail spend$4,000
Wasted on owners who already moved on~$0
Pieces reaching live sellers5,333

Same budget, same volume — the difference is where the pieces land. We're first to the distressed owner in the county (on average ~14 days ahead of the data everyone else buys; it varies by county and we'll show you yours), and we rank owners by what's actually selling instead of mailing a whole stale list. Your subscription buys that data and a done-for-you mail engine — not cheaper postage.

Methodology

Dead lead estimates based on industry data: 8–15% of distressed properties change status (sold, listed, or resolved) within 30 days. Rates compound with longer cleaning intervals.

Time value calculated at $75/hour — the approximate hourly rate for a 10–25 deal/year investor earning $200K–$500K annually.

Reclaimed pieces reflect the same budget and the same volume redirected away from owners who've already sold or are no longer distressed — the result of fresher, ranked county data, not a different mail price. Your subscription buys the data and a done-for-you mail engine; mail is billed at our actual cost with no markup to pad our margin.

Freshness varies by county — on average we're around 14 days ahead of First American–licensed data; some counties more, some same-day. We'll show you exactly where your county lands before you sign anything.

All figures are estimates for educational purposes. Actual results vary by market, competition density, distress mix, and mail volume.
