• Multi-Family — Duplexes, triplexes, apartment buildings
• Commercial — Commercial and mixed-use properties
• Vacant Land — Unimproved lots and raw land
• Mobile Home — Manufactured housing

Value Filters

• Assessed Value — Min/max range for the county assessor's total value
• Market Value — Min/max range for estimated market value (where available)
• Land Value — Filter by land-only value (useful for tear-down candidates)

Size Filters

• Square Footage — Min/max for building square footage
• Lot Size — Min/max for lot area (in square feet or acres)
• Bedrooms — Min/max bedroom count
• Bathrooms — Min/max bathroom count

Ownership Filters

• Absentee Owner — Owner's mailing address differs from property address
• Out-of-State Owner — Owner's mailing address is in a different state
• Ownership Duration — Min/max years the current owner has held the property

Distress Signal Filters

• Tax Delinquent — Property has outstanding tax delinquency
• Lis Pendens — Active lis pendens (pre-foreclosure) filing
• Code Violations — Unresolved building or property code violations
• Probate / Estate — Property is in a probate or estate proceeding

Other Filters

• Year Built — Min/max construction year
• Last Sale Date — Filter by when the property last sold
• Last Sale Price — Min/max range for last recorded sale price

Filter Strategy Tips

1. Start broad — Apply one or two filters, check your result count, then narrow further.
2. Best wholesale combination — Absentee Owner + Tax Delinquent + Ownership Duration > 10 years. This finds out-of-state landlords with unpaid taxes who have owned the property for a long time.
3. Best flip combination — Single Family + Year Built < 2000 + Assessed Value below neighborhood median. Targets older homes likely needing renovation in areas with upside.
4. Distress stacking — Check multiple distress filters (Tax Delinquent + Code Violations) to find properties with compounding motivation signals.
5. Use the property count — If your filtered count is over 1,000, add more filters. If it is under 20, you may be too restrictive.
