Understanding AI Scoring
Understanding AI Scoring
PropIntel's AI Scoring engine evaluates filtered properties against a specific investment thesis and returns a ranked list with score explanations. It is powered by Claude, Anthropic's AI model, running against real county parcel data.
How it works
- Apply filters in the sidebar to narrow properties to a relevant set (e.g., tax-delinquent single-family homes under $200K in Pinellas County).
- Select a Deal Profile — a pre-built investment thesis. Each profile defines what makes a property a strong fit.
- Run Scoring. PropIntel submits each property's data to the AI — assessed value, building age, distress signals, owner type, acreage, zoning, flood zone, and 20+ other fields — evaluated against the profile's weighted criteria.
- Results appear in the Scoring Results Grid, ranked from highest to lowest score, with a plain-English rationale for each property.
The 23 deal profiles
PropIntel ships 23 system profiles across two categories:
Residential / Investment Profiles
| Profile | Best for |
|---|---|
| Curative Title / Tax Deed | Tax-delinquent parcels approaching tax deed eligibility |
| Teardown / Urban Infill | Aging structures where land value exceeds building value |
| Teardown + Lot Split | Oversized lots — demolish and split into 2+ buildable parcels |
| Teardown + Lot Split (Multi-Build) | Larger infill sites with 3+ unit potential |
| Lot Split (Existing Structure) | Oversized lots — keep structure, split surplus land |
| Wholesale Opportunity | Distressed properties suitable for assignment |
| BRRRR Candidate | Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat |
| ADU Potential | Lots with space and zoning for an accessory dwelling unit |
| ADU Candidate Finder | Stricter ADU filter — confirmed lot dimensions + zoning |
| House & Business Combo | Live-work / mixed-use conversions |
| Multi-Family Conversion | Single-family to multi-unit conversion plays |
| Small Multifamily Conversion | 2–4 unit small multifamily conversions |
| Vacant Land for Spec Build | Raw vacant land for ground-up spec construction |
| Off-Market Estate / Probate | Probate and estate-held properties |
| Highest & Best Use Analysis | General best-use scoring without a fixed strategy |
| Lot Split Potential (Homeowner) | Owner-occupied lots with subdivision potential |
Commercial Profiles
| Profile | Best for |
|---|---|
| Highway Travel Center | High-traffic highway commercial sites |
| Self-Storage | Land and buildings suitable for self-storage conversion |
| QSR / Fast Food | Small commercial lots with drive-through potential |

Score range and interpretation
Scores run from 0 to 100:
- 75–100 — Strong match for the profile thesis; prioritize for review
- 50–74 — Reasonable match; worth evaluating in the context of other signals
- 0–49 — Weak match; the AI identified factors that conflict with the thesis
Each result includes a brief plain-English rationale explaining the most important factors driving the score up or down.
The 200-parcel warning
Scoring has a small per-parcel AI cost. PropIntel warns you if your filtered set exceeds 200 properties before starting a run. Tighten your filters first to focus scoring on your highest-priority properties.
Score overlay on the map
After a scoring run, enable the Score overlay in the Layer Controls to color parcels from red (low score) to green (high score) on the map.
Custom profiles and stacked scoring
Higher-tier plans allow you to create custom profiles tailored to your exact criteria. You can also run multiple profiles against the same set and use the Top Opportunities view to surface properties that score well across multiple strategies. See:
