Detroit edition · Updated monthly · Member app →
Every investor buying 5 or more Detroit houses — who they are, what they pay, how fast they flip, what they hold as rentals, and who to call. Built from recorded deeds, building permits, rental registrations, and state entity filings. Not MLS data: the cash, wholesale, and off-market deals the MLS never sees.
Five public-record sources joined at the parcel level, refreshed every month.
Flipper, wholesaler, landlord, or accumulator — inferred from resale speed, permits pulled after purchase, and rental registrations filed. A 37-day median hold with zero permits tells you exactly who you're dealing with.
Buy price, resale price, hold time, and gross margin for 2,362 completed flips — plus each buyer's typical purchase profile (square footage, build era) so you can match a specific house to the buyers who actually want it.
Resident agents, registered offices, and the taxpayer mailing address where each buyer receives its tax bills — a direct-mail-ready contact for 211 of 214 buyers, including the 54 out-of-state operators.
The full property ledger behind each profile — 5,435 parcels with what was paid, who sold it, whether it's still held, and what it resold for. Expandable in the report, exportable as a spreadsheet.
Each edition flags new entrants, buyers going quiet, and operators who just sold down their book — the moves worth acting on.
Ranked by houses purchased in the last 24 months. Subscribers get all 214 profiles, every property each one owns, and the full spreadsheet exports.

Every purchase by the 214 index buyers over the last 24 months, in brick, over every arm's-length sale in the city. The core is nearly untouched; the far west side and the northeast are where the volume is — and the subscriber edition names who is buying on each block.
Anyone whose customers are the people buying these houses.
Simple plans, cancel anytime. Founding pricing is limited to the first ten subscribers and locked for a year.
Built from official public records — fifteen years of recorded transfers, permit filings, rental registrations, and state entity filings, joined at the parcel level through a proprietary pipeline. Only arm's-length transfers count toward rankings; government, bank, and family conveyances are excluded, and portfolio deals are priced correctly rather than double-counted.
"Cash buyer." The index profiles high-volume investor purchasers. Financing method is not verifiable from deed records; the term is used in the industry sense — investors who close without retail financing contingencies.
Recording lag. Public records backfill over time, so recent figures are conservative: these buyers are at least this active, never less.
