I'm Skyler. I live in Seattle and work a full-time job while looking for off-market real estate deals. Mostly the kind of deals you find by driving for dollars across the city until something distressed catches your eye.
Then I became a dad and had to rethink my approach.
I didn't quit searching for deals. I just couldn't keep touring the city looking for distressed properties. So I started reading public records. The City of Seattle publishes every code violation it issues — vacant building flags, emergency orders, land use complaints. Owners under stress leave a trail in those records long before the property ever hits MLS. It's all there. Most investors don't read it because the data is buried in different city portals and the spreadsheets are awful.
FlaggedLeads is the system I built to read it for me. Every morning it pulls the latest violations, scores each property by distress signal density, and surfaces the ones most likely to belong to a motivated seller. No driving. No spreadsheets. Just a ranked list, on a map.
It's free to browse the Seattle data right now. I'm rolling out more cities through 2026 — if you're investing somewhere besides Seattle and want yours added next, tell me.
If you're an off-market investor working leads like this, I'd genuinely like to compare notes. LinkedIn, or reach out here.
