Maco turns public records into ranked, underwritten opportunities. Here is where the data comes from, how the estimates are built, and what you still have to verify yourself.
We read ownership, property characteristics, code cases, permits and recorded liens directly from county and municipal sources — not resold third-party lists. What is available differs by county.
Preliminary value is estimated from real recorded sales near the subject, using price-per-square-foot on comparable properties. The comp set and method are shown, not hidden behind a single number.
Seller-motivation signals (absentee and out-of-state owners, estates, long-term holds, code cases and recorded liens where available) combine with preliminary deal economics into a score that suggests what to investigate first.
Purchase price, renovation, financing, insurance, taxes, holding period and exit are all editable. The flip and hold models reflect your assumptions, with realistic repair bands — losses are shown honestly, not smoothed over.
County feeds update on their own schedules and coverage depth differs by market — Miami-Dade carries the fullest signal set today. Some data lags real events, and not every signal exists in every county. We show data vintage where we can.
Every figure in the platform is a screening estimate, not a licensed appraisal, title report or inspection. Confirm ownership, title, condition, comparable sales and your numbers independently before you make an offer or spend money.
Estimated values, comparable analyses and underwriting produced by the Maco Deal Analyzer are for investment screening and informational purposes only. They are not licensed real estate appraisals, title reports, inspections, legal opinions or guarantees of future performance. Users must independently verify all material information.
