The Opportunity

Free community tools, real revenue

Two interconnected platforms sharing a single white-label codebase — replacing $10-100/month paid data services by sourcing everything from free public records, federal APIs, and community contributions.

The insight

Incumbents charge because they cover every county. We don't have to.

Services like Regrid ($49-199/mo), LandGlide ($10/mo), and onX Maps ($30/yr) repackage public county data and charge for the breadth of their coverage. Off Grid Hubs stays intentionally narrow — serving specific communities — making the entire data layer cost $0.

Public data, private pricing

County parcel records, tax deed auctions, weather data, and fire detection are all public. Incumbents repackage this data and charge $10-200/month.

No emergency infrastructure

Off-grid communities have no 911, no fire department within an hour, and no coordination tools. Off-road parks run safety on handheld radios.

Blind to land opportunities

Tax deed auctions sell parcels for pennies on the dollar, but the data is buried in county clerk websites with no alerts, no maps, and no enrichment.

Revenue model

Six revenue streams

The community apps are free — the business model monetizes the data, the audience, and the B2B vertical without charging the end users who generate the network effects.

Tax Deed Auction Intelligence

A production-grade data pipeline that scrapes, enriches, and presents county tax deed auction records — turning raw public data into an actionable investment tool.

How the pipeline works

1
Scrape
County clerk APIs provide raw auction records weekly
2
Enrich
Add coordinates, acreage, assessed value from cached GIS data
3
Filter
Point-in-polygon boundary filtering per community
4
Present
Countdown timers, watchlists, map pins, parcel thumbnails
5
SEO
Server-rendered pages with Schema.org structured data

Why this matters

  • $5B+ national market

    Florida alone processes ~200,000 tax deed auctions annually. The national tax lien/deed market exceeds $5 billion per year.

  • Underserved buyers

    Individual investors routinely spend $10-50K+ per auction with no dedicated tooling.

  • Free data, packaged value

    Raw county records lack coordinates, acreage, assessed value, and map context. The enrichment pipeline is the product.

  • Institutional demand

    Tax lien investment firms and real estate hedge funds would pay for enriched, programmatic access to this data.

Unit economics

Near-zero marginal costs

Every data source is free. The entire platform runs on a single Supabase project. Adding a new community costs a config file and ~$5/month.

Competition

Free vs. $10-200/month incumbents

Existing tools are built for real estate professionals, not off-grid landowners. And none offer emergency coordination, auctions, or community features.
