DealMachine helps you find properties while driving. PropIntel does that — then AI-scores every one against your investment criteria, ranks them, and explains why they fit. It's the difference between a lead list and a short list.

PropIntel's D4D mode layers AI intelligence on top of the driving experience. When you drive past a tax-delinquent property with a lis pendens filing, you don't just see it on the map — you get a proximity alert with the distress signals, and the AI has already scored it against your investment criteria.
PropIntel's AI is a structured scoring engine. Choose from 23 deal profile templates — wholesale flip, BRRRR buy-and-hold, tax lien acquisition, commercial redevelopment, and more — or build custom criteria using natural language. The AI evaluates every property in your filtered results against weighted criteria and returns ranked results with confidence scores and plain-English explanations.
PropIntel self-aggregates directly from county Property Appraiser offices, County Clerk records, and municipal portals. The result is data that's fresher, deeper, and includes distress signals that DealMachine simply doesn't have access to.
