Growing auction flow
Rising distress creates more homes to screen, inspect, price, and bid.
Courthouse foreclosure acquisitions
Texas Auction Fund
We buy single-family foreclosures from the courthouse using disciplined and proven underwriting.
Market opportunity
Texas foreclosure volume creates a cash-buyer advantage.
Texas leads the country in foreclosure activity. As moratorium-era distortions unwind and borrowers face tighter affordability, courthouse supply has become a larger and more consistent opportunity set.
Cash is required
Courthouse buyers need speed and certainty, which removes many traditional buyers.
Local details matter
Value, repairs, title, occupancy, rent, and resale liquidity determine the bid.
