“We set up the assistant. We teach you to talk to it. We stay available when you need us.”

THE OLD WAY vs. YOUR WAY

The county list does not pay you. The right three properties on it might.

Finding the list. Cleaning the data. Sorting hundreds of properties. Doing it all over again for the next county. That is where most investors burn out, and it is exactly the work your research assistant takes off your desk.

You say what you are looking for: property type, opening bid, county, whatever matters to your strategy. Your assistant organizes the list, flags what is missing, and hands you the strongest candidates for a closer look. You spend your time on the deals, not the data.

“The assistant gives you the shortlist. You provide the judgment.”

What your assistant handles

  • Processes large property lists and filters them by your criteria
  • Compares properties and organizes research into readable charts and spreadsheets
  • Flags missing information and questions that need verification
  • Works with county data and Magic Map information to narrow your list
  • Builds repeatable routines: county research, new list monitoring, deal screening

What you still do, always

  • Verify the numbers and the official records yourself
  • Review title and property condition before you act
  • Know the local rules for the county you are bidding in
  • Decide your exit strategy before you bid
  • Make the final call on every deal
WHAT YOU RECEIVE

The tools come set up. You just learn to use them.

You will never configure anything. Our team installs your research workspace, loads your ready-made research helpers, and walks you through it live, on screen, at your pace.

01 / YOUR RESEARCH WORKSPACE

A configured research system

A recommended platform and your own research workspace with multiple specialized helpers, installed and opened for you. It works like a simple desktop application.

02 / YOUR RESEARCH HELPERS

Ready-made assistants with specific jobs

A library of preconfigured research helpers installed for you: county research, property list organization, tax sale monitoring, and a maximum bid calculator walkthrough. Each one does one job well.

03 / YOUR LIVE TRAINING

A 90-minute live class every month

Installation, using your helpers, what to ask for, research, and judgment. The team shows the process on screen and guides you through it. Nothing is prerecorded-only.

04 / YOUR TEAM'S SUPPORT

Help maintaining and improving the setup

Our team sets up the system, teaches you to use it, and helps maintain and improve it over time. You can talk to your assistant by pressing a button and speaking, or you can type.

FROM A COUNTY LIST TO A CLOSER LOOK

A repeatable research workflow. A human decision at the end.

  1. 01

    Find the list

    Pick a county and get its property list. Download it yourself or have your assistant help retrieve it.

  2. 02

    Set your criteria

    Tell your assistant your strategy and what matters: property type, opening bid, location. You define the criteria.

  3. 03

    Narrow the search

    Your assistant filters the list, organizes the data, and flags missing information so you examine only the strongest candidates.

  4. 04

    Verify before bidding

    Confirm the numbers, review the property and official records, and set your exit strategy before you decide.

“A properly trained investor gets more leverage over the research process.”

IF YOU CAN USE A PHONE, YOU CAN USE THIS

No tech talk. No learning curve. Just five steps.

If you are over 50 and have never used anything like this, you are exactly who this was built for. You do not need to become a programmer or a technician. The whole method is this:

  1. Click this icon.
  2. Press the microphone.
  3. Say what you need.
  4. Read or listen to the answer.
  5. Ask it to make the answer simpler.

That is the entire skill. Speak instead of type. Get answers in plain English. Plan your research without feeling overwhelmed. And if you ever get stuck, a real person on our team is one call away.

WHO THIS IS FOR

You want the shortlist. You do not want the setup work.

This program is for tax-defaulted property investors who need help processing larger lists, want a repeatable research system, and value guidance and accountability.

You do need to be willing to learn the business and verify information before acting. The assistant is a researcher, not a decision maker.

KEEP YOUR JUDGMENT IN CONTROL

This is a research tool. It is not a substitute for judgment.

Your assistant does not replace official record verification, title review, condition review, local rules, due diligence, or your exit strategy.

It cannot walk the property for you. You still confirm the numbers and make the final decision.

No result is guaranteed. Bidding sight unseen is never recommended.

Your assistant never makes purchases, moves money, changes accounts, or sends anything on your behalf without your explicit approval.

Platform note: The subscription for the assistant platform is separate. You pay it directly to the platform, not to us. Our current recommended platform is Grok Bot (from xAI), which we recommend because the assistant runs in its own secure space, never touches your computer, and requires only basic mouse, voice, or typing skills. Current standard plans run approximately $30 per month. Your actual cost depends on the plan you choose.
BEFORE YOU CHOOSE

Your questions, answered.

Do I need to know anything about computers or technology?

No. This program is for people who want the research help but do not want the setup work. The team installs your configured research helpers, helps you set them up, and shows you how to use them. You can speak to your assistant or type. The whole skill is: click the icon, press the microphone, say what you need.

What happens in the live monthly class?

You receive at least one live 90-minute class each month covering setup, using your helpers, what to ask for, research technique, and judgment. The three-month option includes three deep-dive trainings; the annual option includes 12.

Can the assistant work with Magic Map and my spreadsheets?

Yes. Your research helpers work with county lists, Magic Map data, and spreadsheets: organizing the information, comparing lists, and walking you through the maximum bid calculator. You still verify the information before acting.

Does the assistant decide which property I should buy?

No. You define your investment criteria. The assistant processes and organizes information, but you still verify official records, review title and condition, confirm costs and local rules, and decide on an exit strategy before bidding. You make the final decision. Always.

Is the system mine to use?

Yes. Your research helpers sit in your own account, set up on your platform subscription. As long as you keep your platform subscription active, the system is yours to use. You pay that subscription directly to the platform. The training fee is separate.

Is this safe? Will it touch my computer or my files?

Your assistant runs in its own secure space. It does not access your computer, your personal files, or your accounts, and it never makes purchases, moves money, or sends anything without your explicit approval. Our team explains every safety rule during your setup session, in plain English.
