Comps and ownership records, yes; the rent roll, no, because a rent roll is the seller's document and no record holds it. Titleman, for example, returns ownership, sales, recorded debt and zoning for an address in about 4 minutes and a comp set in about 20 at the measured median, drawing on 2,100+ sources inside each run, and it reads the rent roll you get from the broker and ties it to the T-12.

What you can get, and from where
| What you need | Where it comes from | What Titleman returns | Median time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ownership | Records on the property | Owner of record, sales, recorded mortgages and liens, permits, zoning, each with its date; gaps named (property passport) | About 4 minutes |
| Comps | Recorded sales | Same asset type, 1 mile and 24 months by default, at least three priced comps, non-comparables marked with the reason | About 20 minutes |
| Market rent | Signed and asking leases nearby | A rent for one space with the lease comps behind it, and whether the space is under-rented, at market or over | About 15 minutes |
| Rent roll | The seller, via the broker | Read with the T-12 and OM, checked against both, built into the underwriting model | About an hour (underwriting) |
The data arrives with the deal rather than as a dataset your team searches. That is the trade: you get answers about the property in front of you, not a market you can browse.
Why the rent roll is different
Recorded documents show who owns a building, what it sold for and what is borrowed against it. They do not show who pays what rent today. Any tool that claims to pull a rent roll from an address is estimating one. The useful AI work on a rent roll is reading the one the seller sends, tying it to the trailing twelve months and flagging where they disagree. See how to read a rent roll.
What it costs in time: measured medians on production runs, 30 days to 13 October 2026: passport about 4 minutes, rent about 15, comps about 20, underwriting about an hour.
Where coverage is thinner
Coverage depends on the county. Our property base is deepest in Florida, Texas, North Carolina, California, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts and Washington, and thinner elsewhere. When a figure is not found, the report names it as missing instead of filling it, so a thin county shows up as gaps, not as invented numbers.

FAQ
How does Titleman choose comparable sales?
Same asset type, 1 mile and 24 months by default, up to 10 miles; at least three priced comps; the subject's own sale excluded. The same request returns the same rows.
When is a data subscription still the right tool?
When the job is searching a whole market every day. A per-deal run answers a deal; a dataset answers a market.
