I've been a lurker on here for awhile and decided to create an account to respond to the OP. I'm not really sure why people are hating on the software, but saying "its pretty much useless" with no further comments or why it's useless seems a bit odd. I have been using Propstream for a little over a year and a half and feel it has helped me overall in finding foreclosures. The tool I use the most in the software is the analysis wizard. If you're looking for flips or rental properties, I feel this helps with figuring out rehab costs, rental income, etc.
I am investing in California, so I can only really speak for that area, but I have referred a friend who invests in Nevada and he seems to like the software as well.
Hi @Gabriel De Almeida, we are working hard to get out your way, and were hoping it would be by now. It's a lot of work, and I don't have a firm ETA yet.
Software:
I have a 3 person brokerage. I own 50 units that I manage in house and I do flips and everything residential really.
Been off the top of my head for 11 years now. Dabbling w buildium and appfolio....but does anyone know of a software that incorporate the real estate sales as well as property management so that I don't have to get several apps.
Ie a broker crm w coi snf leads/drip etc..and management software.
I have nothing in place and need to systemize.
i have DEALULATOR AKA Propstream it’s not bad actually all i can say is it’s not fully up-to-date but it is more accurate than Zillow Redfin etc. only thing is the vacant homes majority of them are already sold. Still not bad but it’s not worth the $97 a month. If anyone have other suggestions please drop below.
@Gerald Harris I'm with PropertyRadar, not Propstream. Not sure where they are, but we are not in those states yet. Working hard on it though, so stay tuned.
@Sean OToole well said! Another thing is if we can export the phone numbers with the addresses that would be a game changer. oh yeah, is RVM coming up soon as well?
Don't yall find it odd that Sean Otoole has been saying for years there going to expand. Nothing ever happens. Sean, just say that your happy in the states your servicing, that would be better IMO
Hi @Chukwuemeka Emmanuel Nwozuzu I am new to all of this but am also interested in finding a reliable lead software. Wondering if you have any updates on whatever software you ended up trying?
I've been using Propstream for a while and it is very thorough in many ways like comps, lists, auctions, liens, divorce, etc but I've noticed lately that some data is incorrect like owner info and forclosure status. I've talked to probably 4 or 5 people in the past couple weeks who said their property was foreclosed on years ago or that they sold it ,but propstream still has them listed as owner. I'm not sure if this is the county's fault or what but it's definitely a bummer since propstream is about $100 a month.
I am using PropStream now. Just switched from Propelio and for the most part in my markets things looks much better. Propelio while they claim to have MLS it was only showing on market deals which is no bueno...
I think in regards to incorrect data that might be up to the county...Garbage in, garbage out... I haven't run into anything yet that is fully incorrect. it gives me enough to go continue my research online and work a deal...
@Clay Francisco & @Scott Bottomley, how are you liking the software for wholesaling purposes? would like to know your thoughts to it. I am a new investor getting things in order.
I’m curious what makes you feel the software is useless. I was contemplating a membership but it’s obviously quite a lot of money. What don’t you like about it?
