Deal Run vs PropStream: We Add Disposition to Your Data
PropStream is one of the most widely used tools in real estate investing, and for good reason. At $99/mo, it gives you access to property data, motivated seller lists, skip tracing, and list building tools that power thousands of acquisition campaigns across the country. If you are looking for off-market deals, PropStream is a proven solution.
But PropStream stops at the acquisition line. Once you have a deal under contract, PropStream has nothing to help you sell it. No buyer identification. No deal marketing. No blast capability. No investor outreach. That is exactly where Deal Run picks up.
Same price, different half of the business
Both platforms cost $99/mo. Both serve real estate investors. But they address completely different stages of the wholesaling workflow.
PropStream helps you find deals. It gives you property data, ownership information, mortgage details, pre-foreclosure lists, tax lien lists, absentee owner lists, and vacant property lists. You can stack lists, skip trace owners, and export data for your direct mail or cold calling campaigns. It is a data and lead generation platform.
Deal Run helps you sell deals. It identifies active buyers near your property using transaction records, scores them by likelihood to purchase, gives you skip-traced contact information, and lets you market the deal through email and SMS blasts with professional deal pages. It also provides AI-powered deal analysis so your numbers are credible when they land in a buyer's inbox.
The wholesaling workflow gap. Many wholesalers spend $99/mo on PropStream to find deals, then have no system for selling them. They resort to Facebook groups, texting their personal contact list, or posting on Craigslist. Deal Run fills that gap with a professional disposition platform at the same price point.

Why PropStream users add Deal Run
The most common pattern we see is wholesalers who already use PropStream for finding deals. They are good at acquisition. They can generate leads, get properties under contract, and calculate their numbers. But when it comes time to sell, they hit a wall.
They might have a buyer list of 50 to 200 contacts they have built up over time. They blast those contacts manually through email or text. Some deals sell quickly because the right buyer happens to be on their list. Other deals sit because nobody on their list is buying in that area, at that price point, or that property type.
Deal Run solves this by finding buyers you do not already know. When you search an address, Deal Run scans recent transactions to identify landlords who own rental properties nearby and flippers who have bought and resold in the area within the last few years. These are investors with a demonstrated track record of buying in that specific market. You are not guessing who might be interested. You are reaching out to people who have already proven they buy there.
The analysis advantage
PropStream shows you basic comp data: recent sales near a property with price, sqft, and sale date. That is useful as a starting point, but it does not tell you what condition those comps were in when they sold. A renovated flip that sold for $320K and a distressed foreclosure that sold for $210K might both show up as comps for the same subject property. Without condition context, your ARV could be off by six figures.
Deal Run's comp analysis helps you evaluate each comparable sale's condition using listing photos and property data. When you filter by condition, you are comparing renovated comps to get your ARV and distressed comps to understand the as-is value. That spread, minus estimated repairs, is the deal. Buyers trust these numbers because they can see the methodology.
Can you use both?
Yes, and many wholesalers will. The two platforms are complementary rather than competing. PropStream feeds your acquisition pipeline: finding off-market opportunities, building motivated seller lists, and skip tracing property owners. Deal Run takes over once you have a contract: identifying buyers, pricing the deal accurately, and marketing it to the right investors.
At $99/mo each, the combined cost of $198/mo is still cheaper than REsimpli ($199/mo), significantly cheaper than InvestorBase ($249/mo), and a fraction of InvestorLift ($500+/mo). You get best-in-class tools for both halves of the business.
PropStream answers "what should I buy?" Deal Run answers "who will buy it and for how much?"
Who should choose Deal Run over PropStream
- You already have deals under contract. If your problem is selling, not finding, Deal Run is the tool that addresses your bottleneck directly.
- You get deals from sources other than PropStream. If your deals come from referrals, court records, networking, or another CRM, you may not need PropStream's list-building features at all.
- You need buyer identification. PropStream cannot tell you who buys in an area. Deal Run can, and it ranks them by likelihood.
- You want to send deal blasts. PropStream has no outreach capability. Deal Run includes built-in email and SMS blasting.
What happens without a disposition system
Most PropStream users develop a reliable acquisition workflow. They build lists, skip trace owners, send mail or make calls, and get properties under contract. But when it comes time to sell, the workflow breaks down. They post in Facebook groups, text a short buyer list, maybe send a mass email from their personal Gmail. Some deals sell quickly because the right buyer sees it at the right time. Others sit for days or weeks because nobody in their network is buying in that area, at that price, or that property type.
The consequences of slow disposition are real. Earnest money is at risk. Option periods expire. Sellers lose confidence. And every day a deal sits unsold is a day you cannot reinvest that capital or mental energy into the next opportunity. A systemized disposition process, where you can identify qualified buyers and reach them within hours of getting a contract signed, is the difference between closing consistently and closing occasionally.
Who should choose PropStream
- You are building your deal pipeline from scratch. If you do not have deals yet and need to find motivated sellers, PropStream's data and list tools are the starting point.
- You rely on direct mail or cold calling. PropStream integrates with postcard services and provides the data lists those campaigns require.
- You need nationwide property research. PropStream's 155M+ property database is one of the most comprehensive available for investor research.
The bottom line
PropStream and Deal Run cost the same, but they do different things. PropStream is built for the front half of wholesaling: finding distressed properties and contacting motivated sellers. Deal Run is built for the back half: finding qualified buyers and getting your deals sold. Most wholesalers have solid acquisition tools. Far fewer have a real disposition system. Deal Run is that system.
If you are already using PropStream and your deals are taking too long to sell, adding Deal Run gives you the disposition infrastructure that PropStream was never designed to provide. Two tools, $198/mo total, both halves of your business covered.
