One report, everything you'd dig for

Where an appraiser works through half a dozen county portals, Sentry Lake compiles the full picture and flags what matters for an investor.

  • Value & taxes. Assessed value, taxes paid year over year, and the trend.
  • Sales trail. Every public sale of the parcel, with prices and dates.
  • Structure & permits. Year built, size, bedrooms, and permit history where public.
  • Risk & neighborhood. Flood zone, soil and wetlands, crime and census context.
  • The analysis. How likely the owner is to sell, what the lot allows, and which strategies work.

Questions

What's in a report?

The county record (owner of record, legal description, class, assessed value), tax and sales history, structure and permits, flood and ground risk, neighborhood context (census, crime), and three analyses: seller motivation, lot and building potential, and strategy feasibility for buy & hold, flip, BRRR, house hack and short-term rental.

Which areas do you cover?

Minnesota. Full reports cover Hennepin, Ramsey, Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Scott, Washington, Olmsted, Stearns, Isanti, Mille Lacs, St. Louis and Wright counties.

Where does the data come from?

Public records: county assessor, tax and GIS systems, state parcel and sales datasets, and federal sources such as FEMA flood maps and the Census.

How fresh is a report?

If a report on the same parcel was built in the last two weeks you get it right away; otherwise it's collected fresh when you order it, usually in a few minutes. The report says what date it's as of.

Do I need an account?

Yes, to open reports. Start with a search here: you'll sign in once and come straight back to your results.

How does pricing work?
