Land investor here. Tired of flipping between county sites, flood maps, and spreadsheets, so I built a tool that puts parcel data, flood/wetland layers, ownership history, and distress signals on one map and scores each property by seller motivation. Skip tracing’s baked in.

Built it for my own deals first; now a few agents run their own branded versions and I’m expanding coverage.

Genuinely curious whether this is a “hell yes” or a “meh” for other people. If you look for motivated sellers — would you use this, and what would make it a no?

Hey all — I run a small vacant land data business and over the past while I built a piece of software for my own deal flow. It's gotten to the point where other investors keep asking if they can use it, so now I'm trying to price it and I'm honestly stuck. Figured I'd rather ask the people who'd actually use it than guess.

Full disclosure up front: this is my product (Urthmapper). I'm not trying to sneak an ad past anyone — I genuinely want pricing reactions before I set a number and either leave money on the table or scare everyone off.

What it is: It's an interactive parcel map built specifically for vacant land. Instead of bouncing between a flat county GIS site, FEMA flood maps, and a skip-tracing service, you get one screen:

• A 3D map of parcels you can actually fly around
• Toggle-able live data layers: zoning, flood zones, road frontage, water features (creeks/ponds/wetlands), acreage, land use
• Skip-traced owner contact info attached right to the parcel, so you go straight from "that one looks good" to outreach
• Built on real county GIS + USGS data — currently strongest in FL, NC expanding into all places

The whole point is collapsing the "pull a list → cross-reference flood → skip trace → build a spreadsheet" grind into a single tool.

Where I'm stuck: I don't know which model people actually want, or what the number should be. Options I'm weighing:

• Flat monthly subscription (all-you-can-eat in covered markets)
• Per-county / per-market access (pay only for areas you farm)
• Per-lead or per-export pricing
• Some hybrid

So my real questions:

1. Which model would actually make you pull the trigger?
2. What do you pay today for data + skip tracing combined, and what's that worth to you per month?
3. What monthly price feels like an obvious yes — and at what price do you go "nah, I'll just do it manually"?

Not fishing for sign-ups, just numbers and honest reactions. Roast it if it deserves roasting.
