Real Estate · New Orleans · Houston
A first investment should not require a second career. Edge Orbital reads Orleans Parish and Harris County and tells you which house is worth your attention, why, whether the money works, and what to do this week. Both cities, day one.
Other platforms hand you a list. This one hands you a next step.
The job
Not fourteen thousand matches. The handful of houses that fit your capital, your stomach for rehab, and this week’s parish or county calendar.
Code cases, hearings, permits, tax clocks, and ownership mess, in order. One signal is a rumor. A sequence is a reason.
Equity, carry, insurance, and rehab as bands with sources. A number without a receipt is a guess you can already get for free.
Investigate, watch, or walk away. Then the actual next act: which document, which deadline, which professional, which conversation.
Two cities, day one
National lead lists treat New Orleans and Houston like every other metro. The economically useful facts live in parish and county machinery. We ship both adapters on day one. We do not pretend they ingest the same way.
New Orleans
Code cases, hearings, inspections, permits, 311. The city already writes the story of the house, most days. Reading that sequence as a deal is the product.
Houston
Harris County Appraisal District bulk parcels. First-Tuesday tax sales. Trustee-sale notices. Delinquency and deeds as paid event rails, budgeted as cost of goods, not a later phase.

Orleans figures queried live against data.nola.gov on 24 August 2026 (u6yx-v2tw). Sheriff-sale rows on that same portal are not fresh. Houston tax sales: hctax.net, first Tuesday, Bayou City Event Center. Harris led Texas trustee-sale notices this cycle (texasnts.com, 24 August 2026). Detail on the test.
How it works
The first screen is not a map with filters. It is who you are as an investor: capital, experience, strategy, risk, geography. The feed is ranked for that person.
1 · Discover
Distress, urgency, equity, dealability, and confidence, plus a fit score for your actual constraints. Investigate, watch, or ignore.
2 · Understand
Every score has to show its work: the document, the date, what we could not verify. Provenance is not the same as correctness. We built the product to admit both.
3 · Learn
Redemption windows, succession, insurance carry, and strategy choice taught on the house in front of you. Courses sell the map. This teaches the street.
4 · Decide
Strategy lab for rental, BRRRR, seller-finance, tax-lien, tax-deed, and wholesale. The model has to know which law is in force on the sale date, in which city. Louisiana tax sales became lien auctions on 1 January 2026. Texas redemption is §34.21. Both calculators ship on day one.
5 · Contact
Who holds the property, whether the title is in pieces, whether outreach is even lawful. Contact data is a regulated act, not a feature checkbox.
Who it is for
You have crossed from curiosity to intent. You may have capital. You do not yet have a scar. The fear is an expensive mistake. The outcome we optimize for is a first intelligent close.
You have a handful of properties and a pile of tabs. Spreadsheets, generic data tools, a contractor you trust, and intuition. The outcome we optimize for is a repeatable acquisition process.
Why Edge Orbital
People already text a roommate when they get home. Edge Orbital makes that still work. The same company reads a parish and a county the same way: what changed, whether it matters, what to do next.
We already publish the water on New Orleans streets. The house is the next object in that city, and in Houston. Local public signals, turned into a step a person can take. Two adapters. One membership.
This is not a live membership yet. The records are. The test of the premise is public, on purpose.
