Foreclosure Risk Alert Dashboard

Real estate investors and property managers need early warning signs of foreclosures in their target markets. Create a dashboard that aggregates foreclosure data by region, sends alerts for spikes, and provides market analysis. Target: real estate investors, wholesalers, and property management firms.

Rising interest rates and the end of pandemic-era forbearance programs have pushed foreclosure filings noticeably higher since 2023, making the timing reasonable for a monitoring tool aimed at opportunistic buyers. ATTOM Data Solutions is the closest incumbent — they sell foreclosure data at scale, though their product is expensive and designed for institutional buyers, leaving a gap for a leaner, alert-focused layer on top of public records. The $1k–5k/month revenue band is plausible only if the tool lands property management firms or active wholesalers on annual plans, since one-off retail investors won't sustain recurring revenue at that level. The biggest risk is data access: county-level foreclosure records are notoriously inconsistent in format and update frequency, and building reliable ingestion pipelines across dozens of jurisdictions is where most competitors quietly give up.
