Find motivated sellers and active flips before your competition. PermitGrab tracks every building permit in 1,000+ cities — active permits signal construction in progress (potential motivated seller after the repair), and permit absence is its own signal for distressed properties.
Every count above is live from the PermitGrab database. Here's what's in the product.
Real questions contractors have asked us. If yours isn't here, email [email protected].
Three plays. (1) Find motivated sellers post-repair — when a flipper bails or an investor finishes a permit cycle, the property often hits market within 60 days. (2) Spot deferred-maintenance candidates — properties with zero permits in 20+ years usually have hidden repair cost the listing agent didn't disclose. (3) Verify ARV — recent permit values give you ground truth on renovation cost vs. seller claims.

PermitGrab is the permit data layer they bolt onto their stack — typically PropStream's permit add-on alone is $99-149/mo. We're the SMB-priced standalone for investors who already have their core distressed-data tool.
