Estimated capital stack for the top-ranked development scenario
Find homeowners sitting on hidden gold. New California legislation (SB 79, effective July 2026) dramatically increases what can be built near transit stations — meaning many homeowners' land is now worth far more than they realize. Select a station, search nearby parcels, and identify underbuilt properties where the land value exceeds the improvement value. These owners are your best listing leads — you can show them exactly what their property is worth to a developer.
Click any station to select it, then configure filters and search for opportunities

Your go-to rolodex for every vendor and service provider you need to close a residential deal in Los Angeles County. Title & escrow, home inspectors, mortgage lenders, appraisers, photographers, stagers, and more. Filter by category or search by name.
Every property you analyze is automatically saved here, ranked by listing attractiveness. The key metric is the Opportunity Ratio — what a developer would pay divided by the current market value. Properties at 1.5x or higher are strong listing opportunities where the homeowner stands to gain significantly. Properties below 1.0x are worth more as-is. Use the filter to show only strong opportunities, and click "One-Pager" to generate a polished report for the owner.
Color-coded by attractiveness: Green = High, Gold = Medium, Orange = Low-Medium, Red = Low
