Here is the exact filter for single family properties in DealMachine worth 40k or less in Little Rock. You can export into a CSV. I dont think you need a VA! I would probably expand this up to 100k and then filter for building condition poor, as you would likely be purchased lower than the estimated value for a run down house. Hope this helps!

You’re on the right track! Driving for dollars has worked well for me — especially when paired with a tool like DealMachine. I also pull niche lists like tired landlords or vacant properties and hit them with mail, texts, or calls. Relationships with local agents and wholesalers help too. Consistency is key with off-market!


 Thank you for using DealMachine!

Angel Santiago was totally right. DealMachine messed up and the rep did not see his message on the day of the renewal. We're giving a full refund. Appreciate being able to make this right. I care and want to do right by people!

Here's a few other updates I have made so far:

- Extended our standard refund window from 48 hours to 7 days

- Given the team permission to alert me if they feel our standard policy is not fair for any particular issue.

- Incentivized our team to resolve chats completely instead of answering new chats quickly. Your first response rate went up to 15 minutes, but reduced your time to resolution went from several days to less than 30 min.

 Hello @David Lecko,

I just signed up for Dealmachine however, whenever  I attempt to sign in, I get a infinite loop on the loading screen. I am going to attach a photo for reference. What I have done so far is uninstall the app, Update my phone, Close app and force restart it. These have not resolved me issue. I am going to attach a picture of the issue I am experiencing. Currently I am on the 7-day trial and I would like to try to use the product to see if it is something I would like to continue to use. However with this in a consistent loop of loading I am not even able to to access my settings to do anything on my account.  


Just letting everyone know Brian and I texted and he did get that working same day. Sorry I didn't get on here sooner. If anyone does need faster support we have the chat in the app and on the website!

Hey Chris,

Great question! AI is becoming a game-changer in real estate, and one of the coolest ways we use it at DealMachine is to analyze property images to detect signs of distress—straight from Google Street View.

Instead of relying on manually spotting potential deals, our AI can scan publicly available images and flag properties with indicators like:
✅ Overgrown grass
✅ Boarded-up windows
✅ Roof damage
✅ Neglected exterior

You make the list and you tell AI to look at the images in your list.

This makes finding distressed properties way faster and more automated, helping investors focus their efforts on leads with the highest potential.

AI also summarized your conversations with sellers in the DealMachine dialer, takes notes, and tells you what to say during the conversation.

Hope this helps!

Quote from @Derek Farmer:

Hello all,

I am 25 years old living in Indianapolis Indiana.  I would like to get a structure for fix and flipping in 2025 so that I can do it in my free time.  I believe that the Speedway area is where I would like to look first.  Long term goals in mind that I need a track record and capital for!  Been a listener of Bigger Pockets for while!

Hey @Derek Farmer. Are you looking to focus on SF fix/flips? Do have an idea of your preferred acquisition price and how much rehab might be required?


 As of right now we do not have any particular deal!  Still in the looking phase!  As of right now, yes just focusing on Single family fix and flips.  

I think it would be really lucerative to get into commercial spaces as well but as of right now we are primarily entertaining SF homes

Copy - glad you have good things to say about DealMachine. I am the owner actually. We have some of those calculators we plan to to add in 2025 for those who want it all-in-one. Hope that will help!
