@Ari Hadar

PropStream has a mobile app for driving for dollars.

They also have google maps integrated into their web platform to drive virtually. And yes, they also do everything else you mentioned.

Like Jon said, there are lots of paid options. Personally I use PropStream for both physical and virtual driving for dollars (and many other things). That said, you can do it for “free”. Remember though that time is money and your spending money, or time or both.

Message me with any questions you have about PropStream

@Leon Smith

Neither. I use PropStream to run my own comps based on MLS sales. Send me a message if you'd like to know anything else about PropStream.

I don’t trust any value that is based on an algorithm. Even PropStream’s estimated value like deal machine or zestimate can be off, that’s why I run the comps myself. The other option is to befriend a realtor to have them run comps for you

@Andrew Yen

PropStream and REI Automator are the same thing with the same data do hopefully you aren't using both of them

@Adena Martin

Use PropStream and edit the comp criteria for your area. PropStream is using true MLS comps compared to Zillow. Unless you have an agent run comps, PropStream is your best bet

@Chris Fore

Usually there’s some type of distress. Could be financial stress. Could be physically distressed property that isn’t market ready. Could need to sell fast. Maybe they don’t like realtors. Tons of reasons
