🆕 New Tired Landlord & Estate and Heirs Distressors
Two NEW distressors released for SiftMap Pro:
Tired Landlord - filters for absentee owners who've owned the property 15+ years and have high equity.
Estate and Heirs - find properties where the owner of record has passed away and ownership has moved to their estate or heirs
🥷 Ninja Tips for incorporating Estate and Heirs:
Pull Absentee + Estate/Heirs — Combining these narrows to owners who are both estate/heirs-flagged and not living at the property, which tends to bring higher-opportunity leads (though it requires more research to work).
Estate/Heirs + Vacant Land — filtering Estate/Heirs down to vacant land specifically tends to locate owners who are unlikely to be emotionally or financially invested in the lot, since there's no home or occupant tied to the property.
Estate/Heirs + Multiple Owners = No — isolates properties with only one owner on deed who is deceased. This typically means one of two things: a family member is informally living in the property, or no one has yet reported the death to update probate. Good for pinpointing single decision maker situations.
Estate/Heirs + Multiple Owners = Yes — brings more complex situations, such as unmarried co-owners (where the estate designation lands on one owner but not a spouse), or properties held in a trust that also carry an estate flag. Useful for spotting title issues that need resolving before a deal can close.
Estate/Heirs + Obituary (date range) — stacking these narrows the list to properties where the owner died within a defined recent window and the county hasn't completed probate. This combo is especially useful for identifying likely active probate situations. For example, properties that already show a probate case may indicate a personal representative (PR) is in place and reachable now.
