Property Lead Types Built for Investors
PropertyChecker helps you uncover high-intent property leads across multiple categories, including pre-foreclosures, foreclosures, probates, pre-probates, divorces, liens, bankruptcies, tax delinquencies, vacant properties, and more. With access to targeted property data, investors can identify motivated sellers, spot potential opportunities earlier, and make faster, more informed decisions.
Foreclosures
Find properties that may be moving through the foreclosure process and review available records tied to ownership, liens, loans, and sale status.
Pre-Foreclosures
Identify homeowners who may be in the early stages of foreclosure before the property reaches auction or becomes widely known.
Probates
Search for properties connected to probate situations, where ownership may be tied to an estate, heirs, or court-supervised property transfers.
Pre-Probates
Discover potential pre-probate opportunities where a property may be connected to a deceased owner before the full probate process is completed or publicly marketed.
Divorces
Find properties that may be connected to divorce-related ownership changes, helping investors identify situations where a sale or transfer may become more likely.
Tax Defaults
Search for properties with potential tax-related distress, including unpaid property taxes or other tax default indicators.
Free & Clear Properties
Identify homes that may have little to no outstanding mortgage balance, giving investors a way to find owners with strong equity positions.
High-Equity Properties
Find properties where the owner may have significant equity, which can help support faster negotiations, flexible offers, or cash-out selling opportunities.
Vacant Lots
Search for land and empty parcels that may be useful for development, investment, resale, or long-term holding strategies.
Out-of-State Owners
Find properties owned by people who live outside the property's state, which may point to absentee owners, rental properties, inherited homes, or owners who may be open to selling.
Not-a-Principal Residence
Identify properties that may not be the owner's primary residence, including possible rentals, second homes, or investment properties.
Intra-Family Transfers
Review properties that have been transferred between family members, which may help uncover ownership changes, estate planning activity, or potential future sale opportunities.
Recently Sold Properties
Track recent property sales to monitor market movement, identify flipping activity, compare sale prices, or follow up on ownership changes.
Flipped Properties
Find properties that may have been purchased and resold within a short period, helping you spot investor activity and changing neighborhood trends.
Failed Listings
Identify properties that were removed from the market, canceled, or left unsold after being listed, which may indicate pricing issues, property conditions, or changing seller circumstances.

Find Off-Market Properties
Pre-foreclosure is the critical window between when a homeowner receives a Notice of Default (NOD) and before the property is repossessed and sold at auction by the lender. During this stage, the homeowner is often motivated to resolve the debt, creating a unique opportunity for buyers and investors.
Unlike foreclosures, pre-foreclosure properties are not yet bank-owned, which means there is still time to negotiate directly with the owner, often resulting in better pricing, less competition, and more flexible terms.
PropertyChecker can help you:
- Monitor properties entering financial distress
- Identify early-stage activity before public sale events
- Access key details such as filing dates and property status
- Track changes in ownership or lien activity
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pre-foreclosure property?
A pre-foreclosure property is a home where the owner has received a notice of default (NOD) due to missed mortgage payments, but the property has not yet been repossessed by the lender.
What is a foreclosure property?
A foreclosure property is a home that has been repossessed by the lender after the owner failed to resolve their mortgage default.
How can I search for foreclosure properties?
Foreclosure properties can be found through:
- Public auction listings
- Bank-owned (REO) property listings
- Property data platforms with nationwide search access
Are foreclosure properties cheaper than market value?
Yes, foreclosure properties are often priced below market value because:

- Properties may require repairs
- Auctions create price variability
What risks are involved in buying foreclosure properties?
Common risks include:
- Existing liens or unpaid taxes
- Property damage or neglect
- Limited inspection opportunities
- Competitive bidding at auctions
What information should I review before investing?
A complete property report should include:
- Ownership history
- Mortgage and loan details
- Liens and judgments
- Property condition and value estimates

- Foreclosure status timeline
Can I contact the owner during pre-foreclosure?
Yes. During pre-foreclosure, you can legally contact the homeowner to:

Are all distressed properties in foreclosure?
No. Foreclosure is only one type of property distress. A property may also be considered distressed because of unpaid taxes, liens, probate proceedings, vacancy, deferred maintenance, ownership disputes, or other financial and legal circumstances.
Are distressed properties cheaper than market value?
Some distressed properties may be offered below market value, but this is not guaranteed. The price may depend on the owner's circumstances, the property's condition, outstanding debt, local demand, repair costs, and the number of competing buyers.
