Question 1

How is PropVet different from Zillow or Redfin?

Accepted Answer

Zillow is for finding homes; PropVet is for auditing them. We don't just show price history—we pull forensic data like unpermitted additions, block-level crime trends, and rent-to-income ratios that consumer sites hide.

Question 2

What triggers a 'Do Not Acquire' warning?

Accepted Answer

Our algorithm flags 'Deal Killers' automatically. This includes structural risks (like ancient foundations in flood zones), massive tax deltas (assessed vs. market value), or negative neighborhood appreciation trends > 5% YoY.

Question 3

Can I use the report to negotiate price?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. 40% of our users are wholesalers and flippers who use the 'Permit Gap' and 'System Age' sections to negotiate $5k-$15k price reductions with sellers.

Question 4

Does PropVet work for Multi-Family properties?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our 'Rent Roll' analysis is optimized for 1-4 unit properties. We analyze vacancy rates at the block level to tell you if a duplex will actually cash flow, or if it's in an eviction hotspot.

Question 5

How fresh is the data?

Accepted Answer

Real-time. We ping county tax assessors and local police blotters the moment you click 'Analyze.' Unlike other tools that cache data for months, we give you the live reality.
