How Does BatchLeads Work? Data, Skip Tracing, and Lists
BatchLeads is a property data and lead generation platform used by real estate investors and wholesalers to build targeted mailing lists, skip trace property owners, and manage outreach campaigns. This guide explains exactly how BatchLeads works, covering its core features and where it fits in your investing workflow.
What BatchLeads does
BatchLeads provides three main capabilities:
- Property data and list building: Search and filter property records by dozens of criteria (location, equity, ownership type, distress indicators) to create targeted lists
- Skip tracing: Resolve owner names and addresses into phone numbers and emails
- Outreach tools: Built-in direct mail, SMS, and cold calling features
The platform sits in the same category as PropStream and DealMachine — it is primarily an acquisition tool designed to help you find motivated sellers and contact them.
How list building works
BatchLeads pulls data from county records, tax assessor databases, and other public sources. You can filter properties by:
- Location (state, county, city, zip code, or drawn map area)
- Owner type (absentee, corporate, individual, trust)
- Equity position (high equity, free and clear, underwater)
- Distress indicators (pre-foreclosure, tax delinquent, bankruptcy, divorce, probate)
- Property characteristics (type, beds, baths, year built, square footage)
- Transaction history (last sale date, purchase price)
What makes BatchLeads different from basic property search tools is its list stacking capability. You can stack multiple distress indicators to find the most motivated sellers — for example, properties that are both tax delinquent AND in pre-foreclosure AND owned by absentee owners. The more indicators that stack, the higher the motivation.
Skip tracing integration
Once you have a list, BatchLeads includes skip tracing directly in the platform. Select the records you want to trace, run the batch, and phone numbers and emails are appended to your list. BatchLeads uses credit-based pricing for skip traces on most plans.
Outreach features
BatchLeads includes direct mail (postcards and letters), SMS campaigns, and a click-to-call dialer. You can launch multi-channel outreach without leaving the platform. Campaign analytics show delivery rates, response rates, and cost per response.
BatchLeads pricing
BatchLeads plans start around $79/month for basic access and scale up based on the number of records, skip trace credits, and marketing features included. Higher tiers include more data exports, team seats, and priority support.

What BatchLeads does well
- List stacking: Stack multiple distress indicators to find highly motivated sellers
- All-in-one acquisition: Data, skip tracing, and outreach in a single platform
- Map-based searching: Draw areas on a map to search specific neighborhoods
- Data depth: Extensive property and owner data fields
What BatchLeads lacks
- No buyer finding: Cannot identify active investors near your deals
- No disposition tools: No deal marketing pages, buyer CRM, or buyer outreach
- Credit-based pricing: Skip trace and data costs can exceed the subscription if you use heavy volume
- Learning curve: The filter system is powerful but takes time to master
Who should use BatchLeads
BatchLeads is best for investors whose main challenge is finding motivated sellers. If you are building acquisition lists, running direct mail campaigns, and cold calling property owners, BatchLeads consolidates those workflows effectively.
If you already have deals under contract and need to find buyers, a dedicated disposition platform will serve that need better.
Bottom line: BatchLeads excels at the acquisition side of wholesaling — building targeted seller lists and launching outreach campaigns. For the sell side (finding and contacting buyers), you will need a separate tool in your stack.
