DealFlipAI Dashboard Features: Scans, Alerts, Favorites, and Top Picks

The DealFlipAI dashboard is the main workspace for building Marketplace searches, scanning listings, reviewing Deal Scores and AI analysis, saving promising opportunities, revisiting scan history, and configuring recurring alerts or AI Top Picks on eligible plans.

The workflow is: configure, scan, score, inspect, save, and act. Category presets and saved locations make searches repeatable. Deal cards organize value, margin, confidence, risk, and offer information. Favorites and notes turn promising results into a manageable pipeline.

Feature limits vary by plan. The dashboard shows current entitlements, and users should choose features based on real sourcing volume rather than trying to use every available option.

Category presets store repeatable buying criteria such as item type, keywords, price range, and relevant filters. Saved locations let users scan the areas they actually source.

A strong preset is specific: "Milwaukee M18 tools under $150 within 30 miles" is more actionable than "tools." Separate searches when models, budgets, or inspection rules differ.

Current plan limits range from 3 category presets and 3 locations on Free to 10 and 5 on Scout, 25 and 10 on Hustler, and unlimited presets and locations on Flip Wizard.

More presets only help when each represents a real buying strategy. Delete or tighten searches that consistently produce irrelevant listings.

A manual scan runs the selected search and returns matching Marketplace listings within the user's plan allowance. Results are organized into deal cards so stronger opportunities can be reviewed first.

Cards can include asking price, estimated resale, profit range, Deal Score, rating, confidence, red flags, category details, and suggested offer. Some listings can receive deeper AI analysis depending on the user's plan and remaining AI entitlement.

Open the explanation instead of relying on the card color or headline score. Confirm why the item ranked well and whether the available details support the estimate.

Scan history lets users revisit prior search results, compare how often qualified opportunities appear, and recover listings they did not act on immediately.

Current history limits scale by plan: Free stores 5 scan-history entries with 3 days of deal history; Scout stores 50 entries and 10 days; Hustler stores 200 entries and 25 days; Flip Wizard provides unlimited scan and deal history under the current configuration.

History is useful for measuring the search itself. Track how many results were relevant, how many survived verification, and whether price or demand changed. An old listing is not automatically a bargain; it may be stale, unavailable, or correctly ignored by other buyers.

The heart control saves a promising deal to Favorites for quick access. Paid plans support notes, allowing users to record seller replies, inspection questions, target offer, next action, or why the opportunity was rejected.

Current favorite limits are 20 on Free, 100 on Scout, 500 on Hustler, and unlimited on Flip Wizard. Saving everything defeats the purpose. Keep only listings with a credible next step.

A simple workflow is new lead, seller contacted, inspection scheduled, purchased, passed, or sold. Update notes after each interaction so DealFlipAI becomes a sourcing pipeline rather than another pile of bookmarks.

Saved alerts rerun qualified searches in the background for paid users. Matches that clear the platform's minimum quality threshold enter the DealFlipAI alert inbox; external push or email delivery depends on configuration and user settings.

Scout supports one alert category checked every 60 minutes. Hustler supports two checked every 30 minutes. Flip Wizard supports three checked every 15 minutes. Free does not include recurring saved alerts.

The interval is a scheduled cadence, not an exact listing-to-phone guarantee. Build narrow alert searches and review them regularly to prevent notification fatigue.

AI Top Picks creates curated rotating discovery lanes for eligible plans. It is designed for users who want DealFlipAI to surface promising inventory themes without manually running every search.

Under the current configuration, Hustler supports one active AI Top Picks category checked every 120 minutes. Flip Wizard supports up to three categories checked every 60 minutes. Free and Scout do not include AI Top Picks.

Top Picks should expand discovery, not override buying rules. Review the same resale, confidence, condition, risk, and cost details used for normal scans. Pause lanes that do not produce qualified leads.

1. Create two or three precise category presets.
2. Save only locations and radiuses you will actually travel.
3. Run manual scans and correct noisy filters.
4. Review Deal Score explanations, confidence, and red flags.
5. Save qualified leads to Favorites and add the next action in notes.
6. Turn the best repeatable search into a saved alert.
7. Use AI Top Picks only after normal buying rules are established.
8. Review scan history monthly and remove searches that do not lead to real opportunities.

This sequence keeps the dashboard focused on decisions rather than feature volume.
