What each signal means
Vacant properties
No one lives there: registered vacant, cited as vacant, or flagged by the city.
Usually from: USPS vacancy, utility or city vacant registries. Weight in Deal Radar's score: 18, doesn't fade.
Code violations
The city cited the property for its condition. Landlords tired of repairs and owners who can't afford them both show up here.
Usually from: City code enforcement. Weight in Deal Radar's score: 14, halving every 180 days.
Out-of-state owners
The owner lives in another state, which makes the property harder to manage.
Usually from: Assessor: owner mails out of state. Weight in Deal Radar's score: 9, doesn't fade.
Absentee owners
The tax bill goes somewhere other than the property. A landlord or an heir.
Usually from: Assessor: mailing address differs from property. Weight in Deal Radar's score: 6, doesn't fade.
Permits
Work is being done: repairs, a remodel or a teardown, sometimes before a sale. A weak signal on its own.
Usually from: Building permits (pre-sale repairs). Weight in Deal Radar's score: 4, halving every 120 days.
Tax-delinquent properties
Property taxes are unpaid. Often an inherited, vacant or neglected property, or an owner under strain.
Usually from: County treasurer delinquency lists. Weight in Deal Radar's score: 24, halving every 365 days.
The public feeds

Active rental licenses whose owner lives outside Minnesota (about 2,100), with owner name and mailing address, updated daily. The detail is the licensed unit count; the source also lists the owner's phone and email, which are not imported.
Minneapolis non-homesteaded homes (absentee owners)Minneapolis, MN
1-3 unit homes and condos on the 2026 assessment (taxes payable 2027) with no homestead, meaning the owner doesn't live there (about 24,900, mostly landlords plus some vacant or estate-held homes). Owner name included, no mailing address. The parcel id carries a leading p.
Minneapolis house remodel, addition and wrecking permitsMinneapolis, MN
Remodel and addition permits plus wrecking (demolition) permits on single-family, duplex and triplex buildings (about 2,900 a year), updated daily. Pre-sale renovations and teardowns are weak signals alone; best stacked with others.

Hennepin County tax-delinquent homesHennepin County, MN
Homes, townhouses and condos across Hennepin County (Minneapolis and suburbs) with delinquent property taxes (about 2,000), from the county's parcel layer, with owner and taxpayer mailing address. The detail is the two-digit earliest delinquent year (25 means 2025 taxes unpaid); Minnesota forfeits homes to the state after about three years of delinquency, so older years are the most urgent. The service publishes no edit date. When the taxpayer has two name lines the mailing address can come through shifted by a line.

What isn't here
- Owner names, mailing addresses and phone numbers. Public pages show counts only; phones never come from these feeds.
- Probate and divorce filings. They sit with the courts and several states restrict them; inside Parcel they come in by upload.
- Records a city or county doesn't publish as open data. If yours has a feed we've missed, tell us and we'll check it.
