Propstream versus PIN5

[Carol Angelopoulos]

Does anyone here use Propstream or PIN5

If so, which one of the 2 world you recommend for a new investor?

Interesting discussion...  I haven't done any skip tracing really.. but I you look at all of those sites like been verified, spokeo, etc... you can tell there is a ton of information out there tied to every person, people with the same names in same cities... multiple people tied to different addresses..etc...    I'm not making excuses for propstream or pin... but just my personal experience is that I wouldn't expect skip tracing to really be THAT effective.

What bothers me the most is all the companies that market it as "we do skip tracing, you just click here and get the number" without making it clear that it's some computer's best guess at a number based on a million social media sites combined with county records..etc.. 

I just feel like you have to take every claim with a grain of salt...

I used propstream for a year, and I probably will sign up again soon... was intrigued by PIN and the flashier interface, but not excited about the upfront cost...   That said... when I sign up for propstream again, I do so knowing that they rely on data from 3rd parties, some of it's out of date, and I always double check and verify things... but it IS good for the amount of usually reliable information you can get in a short period of time... but always verify after against other sources.

If it was as easy as $1500 and $97 a month like the PIN videos make it sound, then everyone would be doing it.
