You're not paying for a PDF — you're buying back your time and avoiding a $50k mistake.

Tax-deed properties have no disclosures. Doing this yourself from out of state means weeks of county research, a flight to walk the site, title fees, and still missing things that only locals catch. We deliver a complete dossier in days — for less than DIY.

Fact View — $1,499

DIY desk research: $1,600–$2,100 · 20+ hours

We pull GIS, recorder, EPA, zoning, and sale rules — organized with sources. You read one report instead of learning a new county system.

  • No all-nighter on Municode
  • Env & code flags you'd likely miss
  • Delivered in days, not weeks

Complete View — $4,499

DIY with travel: $4,000–$5,500 · flight + title + site visit

Skip the plane ticket. We walk the property, shoot photos/video, run title, and analyze the local market — so you see it like you're there.

  • No $800–$1,400 round trip
  • Title search + walkthrough included
  • Know condition before you bid

Expert View — $7,499

Full pro stack: $6,500–$11,000+ · consultant + attorney + model

Walk into the sale with a bid range, a go/no-go, and a strategy call — not a guess and a prayer.

  • Suggested max bid (avoid overpaying)
  • Multi-year holding model
  • 30-min strategy consult included

Common questions

Why does it cost this much?

Because doing it yourself from out of state typically runs $1,600–$2,100 (Fact), $4,000–$5,500 (Complete with travel), or $6,500–$11,000+ (Expert with consultants) — in time, fees, and flights. We deliver faster, catch what DIY misses, and still cost less than the alternative. One bad bid can cost $50,000. The report is insurance.

What's the difference between Fact, Complete, and Expert View?

Fact View ($1,499) is desk research and public records. Complete View ($4,499) adds title search, photos/video, walkthrough, and local market. Expert View ($7,499) adds holding-cost modeling, best-use analysis, bid range, go/no-go, and a strategy consult.

Can I see a report before buying?

Yes — our free Expert View sample report on 1842 W Main St, Decatur IL shows the depth and format you can expect.
