How Does PropStream Work? A Complete Walkthrough
PropStream is one of the most popular property data platforms for investors, with over 2 million users. It provides nationwide property records, list building, and basic analysis. This guide explains exactly how PropStream works and where it fits for wholesalers.
What PropStream does
- Property search: Look up any US property by address, owner name, or APN
- List building: Filter by equity, ownership type, distress indicators, and export lists
- Comp analysis: Pull recent sales to estimate value
- Skip tracing: Add-on for owner contact info
- Marketing: Built-in postcards and direct mail (add-on)
List building strengths
PropStream's best feature is filtering. Pull all absentee owners in a zip code with 50%+ equity who owned 10+ years. Combine distress indicators for targeted acquisition lists.
PropStream pricing
$99/month base for unlimited searches. Skip tracing and marketing are extra. For details, see our PropStream review.
What PropStream does well
- Nationwide property records
- Extensive list building filters
- $99/month for unlimited searches
- Widely used with extensive training content
What PropStream lacks
- No buyer finding or investor identification
- No deal marketing pages or buyer outreach
- No deal pipeline or Kanban board
- Skip tracing costs extra
PropStream is excellent for acquisition. For disposition, consider a PropStream alternative with buyer identification and marketing tools.
Bottom line: PropStream is the industry standard for property data and list building. Its weakness is that it stops at acquisition — it does not help you sell deals.
