I have a 4-unit brick property available in the Old North / University View area. It’s a 4-family layout consisting of four 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom units.

Quick Specs:

• Price: $640k
• Gross Potential Rent: $4,400/month
• Condition: Recently updated HVAC/Central Air and electrical. Solid brick structure with a full basement and off-street parking.
• Size: ~5,202 sq ft.

The property is currently fetching (or estimated at) $1,100/door. Great for a long-term hold in a high-demand neighborhood.

Hey everyone,

I’m currently a virtual wholesaler (primarily focused on the Ohio market—Columbus, Dayton, Cleveland) and I’m looking to level up my tech stack. I’ve been weighing DealMachine vs. PropStream, and I’d love to get some current feedback from those of you doing this virtually.

Since I’m not local to my markets, I don’t do any "Driving for Dollars" myself. I’m strictly pulling lists and hitting the phones/SMS.

Here’s what I’m trying to figure out:

1. Data Quality for Ohio: For those working in the Midwest, which platform is giving you the most accurate owner info and "vacancy" tags right now?
2. List Pulling: I know PropStream is the OG for massive list stacking, but I’ve heard DealMachine has made some big moves lately with their "free" skip tracing and better filters for things like owner age or household income.
3. Virtual Workflow: Which one integrates better with a virtual setup? I use Deal Machine currently for some lead gen but I’m wondering if PropStream’s comps and deep dive data are still the industry standard for ARV.
4. Skip Tracing: Is the built-in skip tracing on either of these actually good enough to get a 20%+ contact rate, or am I better off exporting the raw data and running it through a waterfall skip tracer like Batch?

Hey guys, 19-year-old wholesaler here getting ready to launch my next mailer.

I’m looking for off-market 1-4 unit deals. If you’re currently mailing:

1. What’s your current average response rate?
2. Are you using DealMachine or a different service for your list/fulfillment?
3. How many times are you hitting the same lead before you stop?
