How LandGrab.pro works
From raw public records to a signed offer — here's the exact path the platform takes you through.
Baltimore's distressed property market is opaque by design.
Tax sale lists are buried in PDFs. Foreclosure filings live in court dockets. Vacant building registries are updated sporadically. Owner contact info is hidden behind LLCs.
LandGrab.pro aggregates all of it — 1,238 scored properties, 8 data sources, real-time auction tracking — and surfaces the deals worth acting on before anyone else sees them.
Step 01
Discover
Find deals before they hit the market
The platform continuously monitors Baltimore City tax sale filings, circuit court foreclosure dockets, DHCD vacant building registrations, and city disposition records. Every property is geocoded, deduplicated, and scored the moment it enters the pipeline.
- 1,238 properties scored across 8 data sources
- Real-time auction tracking from 21 adapters
- 44 neighborhood polygons with historical context
- Deal scores updated nightly
Step 02
Evaluate
Three intelligence layers on every property
Open any property dossier and you get three stacked intelligence layers: deal scoring with distress signals, 8-neighborhood historical context, and restoration potential scoring. No spreadsheets. No manual research.
- Deal score 0–100 with equity spread estimate
- Restoration potential: 465 HIGH_POTENTIAL properties identified
- Unified timeline pulling from 8 DB tables
- Acquisition readiness stage: Bid Ready → Research Only
Step 03
Acquire
Know exactly how to buy it
Every property has a primary acquisition method — tax sale lien, foreclosure auction, receivership sale, city disposition, or direct owner outreach. The platform tells you which path applies, what the blockers are, and what to do next.
- Next Best Actions ranked by urgency
- Jurisdiction rules with statutory citations
- Acquisition paths with estimated timelines
- Bid-ready CTA deep-links to the Deal Analyzer
Step 04
Analyze
Run the numbers before you bid
The Deal Analyzer takes ARV, acquisition cost, rehab estimate, and holding costs and outputs a full investment return model. Pre-filled from property intelligence — you just confirm the numbers.
- ARV vs. acquisition cost equity spread
- Rehab cost estimator by property condition
- ROI, cash-on-cash, and cap rate outputs
- Exportable deal summary for lenders

Five ways to acquire a distressed property in Baltimore
The platform identifies which path applies to each property and tells you what to do next.
Purchase a tax lien certificate at the annual Baltimore City tax sale. Redemption period applies. Highest volume of actionable deals.
Bid at a circuit court foreclosure auction. Requires deposit day-of. Title is typically clean post-sale.
Court-appointed receiver sells the property to fund remediation. Often below market. Requires monitoring court dockets.
Purchase directly from Baltimore City's land bank or surplus property program. Competitive application process.
Reach the owner before any legal action. Highest margin potential. Requires skip tracing and outreach.
