How-to

Guide

How do I get the next deal onto my book? Map → Add street → My Book. The street is a deal you control. It starts private at Intake. County records are title truth. A-LOT is software, not a brokerage. No skip-trace. No SMS marketplace.

    Map → Add street → My Book

    How do I get the next deal onto my book? Map → Add street → My Book. Sign in to add a street. The street is a deal you control. It starts private at Intake. An empty book until you add one is honest. An empty Map is honest — the operator net is not an inventory storefront. /submit-deal is a public inquiry, not an own-book deal. On a fellow operator pin, Request packet is their opt-in listing. Add to my book is a private copy on your book. County or GIS notes classify land you bring or control. They are not A-LOT inventory. Vacant land is not a catalog. You type a real street you found. A-LOT does not list vacant parcels. Paste a public county or GIS link you already opened. It stays on your book. We do not invent vacant pins. There is no vacant feed. County-only stays off the shared net.

    Record a reference note, then request packet or mark Closed

    This is the close desk. On a booked street, one next action at a time: Verify address, Next stage, Assemble packet, Record a reference note, Find closer, then Mark Closed when the desk gate says so. The county recorder is title truth. Hire a licensed closer. FL, AZ, and TX use public find-links (DFS, DIFI, TDI) plus a county recorder hint. That is not a ranked directory, not an intro, and not a Send or SMTP. Acknowledge the purchase contract and record a contract reference before Evidence satisfies the Closing packet. Then record a title-proof reference (a note or instrument number for a recorded deed or closing confirmation) and bind it on your own book. A-LOT stores a reference note and a fingerprint of it. It does not store the document. Keep the original with your closer. The JV PDF is a separate file upload. The closing packet checklist (FL, then AZ) lists required docs, reference slots, and mark-complete. The evidence strip puts claimed parties beside recorded references and keeps Mark Closed off when that reference is missing or conflicts with the claim. A stage-stall hint is an in-app badge when the deal sits idle in its stage. It names the next checklist item. No email, no text, no push. Diligence presets are a checklist for vacant residential and acreage. Checklist only, not legal or brokerage advice. A licensed closer or counsel is still recommended. Copy templates are for you to paste. There is no outbound Send. Mark Closed when the desk gate says so. On a fellow operator's listing, Request packet first. Closed on desk is not recorded title/deed. Not legal advice.

    Site Ops · Clear / Demo / Build / Upgrade

    On a street already on your own book, record Clear, Demo, Build, or Upgrade. That is intent only. Demo stays off unless the asset type is Demo / teardown. Site Ops does not run on the open book or someone else’s pin. Not a permit. Not a demolition order.

    Open Book and open pins

    Open pins are opt-in and off by default. Share only a street-address deal you control. We geocode the address. You never type lat/long. We do not invent pins. County-only stays private and off the map. Open pins are not a source of inventory. The public open book is not the signed-in operator net.

    Membership

    Verify your email to get started. A Success Fee is recorded on a Closed own-book deal when the packet is complete. That record is not a Stripe charge today. There is no membership charge today.

    Lot View / Unity

    Lot View stays closed until a distinct-origin WebGL URL is configured. Do not call it a GTA or Rockstar product. No wallet. An NFT is not a deed. EWA is off.

Stage-stall hint

On a deal you control, a soft badge appears in the deal drawer and on the My Book row when that deal has sat idle in its current stage. Idle is the time since the last stage change or desk update already stored on the deal. The hint names the next close-readiness item, and it uses the next action when that item is still empty. If the deal has no activity timestamp, there is no badge. The hint is in-app only. No email, no text, no push.

Diligence presets

Lot deals get a vacant residential checklist. Land deals get an acreage checklist. One click applies it. You tick the items. They stay on the deal as desk fields. Checklist only. Not legal or brokerage advice. A licensed closer or counsel is still recommended. Ticking the list does not mark the deal Closed.

Land plays

Find a street, then add it

Each play ends the same way: read the public card off-site, then Map → Add street → My Book. Lists stay off A-LOT. There is no listing feed.

Infill / leftover lots

Open a county property appraiser or GIS and look for a vacant parcel inside a built-out block — an odd leftover lot, not a catalog. Read the public card off-site. Grab the situs street from that card and type it into Add street. The county list stays on the county site.

Lists stay off A-LOT.

Florida first, then the same public-card habit in Arizona.

Absentee out-of-state owner

Open the public parcel card and compare the mailing address state to the situs. An out-of-state owner on a vacant lot is a lead you work off A-LOT. Type only the situs street you verified. Do not bring a phone list onto the book.

Florida first, then the same public-card habit in Arizona.

Tax-lien / deed-adjacent

County tax collectors publish lien and deed-adjacent lists. Open that list off-site, then verify the parcel on the property appraiser or GIS. Book only the street you verified yourself. A-LOT does not import the tax list and does not pin a row you did not type.

County shelf

Find off-site, then book the street on-site. We do not invent pins and we do not import lists.

Official county sites only. Opens a new tab. We do not pull parcels onto the map.

Utility-ready vacant

Use the public card and the utility district’s own map to see whether water or power is already at a vacant lot. Book the street you checked. We do not scrape utility rolls.

Assemblage crumbs

Two or three leftover lots on the same block can be an assemblage. Note each situs from the public cards, one street at a time. A-LOT does not draw a parcel cluster or invent the missing lots.

Zoning upside

Read the county zoning viewer off-site for a vacant lot whose public district allows more than the current use. Type the street after you read it. Zoning maps stay on the county site.

Lists stay off A-LOT.

Estate / heir vacant

A vacant lot in an estate or heir situation shows on the public card as a mailing address that is a law office, personal representative, or out-of-area heir. Work the outreach off-site. Type only the situs street.
