Frequently asked questions
Honest answers about how BidWise works, what data we use, and how investors get value.
Each month when county auction listings are released, BidWise analyzes every property on the list — pulling comparable sales, public records, tax history, and lien context. Each property receives a deal score and ROI estimate so you can decide quickly whether it is worth pursuing.
BidWise focuses on auction properties — tax deed sales, foreclosure auctions, and courthouse steps sales. Geographic coverage expands by county. Off-market and MLS data may be added in the future through compliant, licensed partnerships only.
Comps are sourced from public and authorized data. BidWise applies filters for property type, square footage, and proximity and shows confidence indicators so you know how much weight to place on each comp.
No. BidWise is a research and analysis tool. It improves the quality of your inputs — investing still involves real risk. We help you make better-informed decisions. Outcomes are yours.

Public property records, county data feeds, and authorized comparable sales sources. We do not scrape MLS systems, access restricted portals, or use data obtained through unauthorized means.
Yes. The platform is designed to be usable without a real estate background. Deal scores, rehab estimates, and financials are clearly labeled so you can evaluate properties while still doing your own diligence before bidding.
BidWise shows counties only when there is an active auction list with analyzed properties available. Current active coverage is DeKalb County, with additional metro Atlanta counties returning as soon as their next property lists are posted.
