Traditional driving for dollars works—but it’s slow, exhausting, and hard to scale. You can only hit so many streets in a day, and success depends on how sharp your eye is for signs of distress.

That’s why we built AI Driving for Dollars, a game-changing tool inside Invelo that uses Google Street View and artificial intelligence to help you virtually scout distressed properties—fast, smart, and without leaving your desk.

What Is AI Driving for Dollars?

AI Driving for Dollars is Invelo’s virtual driving tool built into List Builder. It scans Google Street View using AI to detect visual indicators of property distress, like:

  • 🏚️ Boarded-up windows
  • 🌿 Overgrown lawns and landscaping
  • 🧱 Damaged roofs or exteriors
  • 🎨 Peeling paint or neglected curb appeal
  • 🚪 Vacant or abandoned appearance

This allows you to spot real opportunities at scale—before other investors even know they exist.

How It Works: 7 Simple Steps Inside Invelo

  1. Open List Builder from your Invelo dashboard
  2. Choose your target area using the map tool
  3. (Optional) Apply filters like property type, owner status, or years of ownership
  4. Click AI Driving for Dollars
  5. Adjust your distress score threshold using the slider
  6. Assign properties to a list or add tags for better segmentation
  7. Click “Purchase List & Import” — and only qualified properties will be added

AI Driving for Dollars automatically excludes properties that are under construction or don’t have usable imagery. You only pay for records that are successfully analyzed.

Pricing & Access

  • Just $0.03 per property record analyzed
  • You’re only charged for records that are successfully analyzed 
  • Automatic refunds for properties that can’t be analyzed (e.g. no image available)
  • Available exclusively on Starter, Growth, and Professional plans
  • Not accessible on BiggerPockets plans

Understanding the Distress Score

Every property it analyzes is assigned a distress score between 0–100:

  • 80–100 = Highly distressed – strong lead potential
  • 60–79 = Moderate distress – worth following up
  • 0–59 = Low visible distress – deprioritize or skip

You choose the minimum score, and Invelo does the rest.

Why Might a Property Not Be Included?

Some properties may not be assessed due to:

  • 🏗️ Being under construction or recently renovated
  • 🚫 Obstructed or missing Google Street View imagery
  • ❓ Address mismatch or data issues

You won’t be charged for these—AI Driving for Dollars only imports viable, scorable properties.
