Every day I see comments like "Is Investor Base worth it?" or "Should I switch from PropStream to Privy?" Here's the truth nobody wants to hear:
It. Doesn't. Matter.
What matters is mastering whatever tool you're using.
A $2000 hammer doesn't make you a better carpenter than a $20 one.
Same goes for wholesaling software.
Let me be brutally honest: Your software isn't the problem. YOU are.
Here's what we actually do in our business:
PPL LEAD GENERATION: We use multiple platforms because we've mastered each one for different purposes:
• Speed Leads Coupon Club? Yeah, the leads are cheaper and older. But we know exactly which motivation types to cherry-pick there.
• Lead Zolo/Property Leads? We approach these differently because they're fresher leads. Don't just blindly buy every lead. That's how your cost per contract skyrockets.
COMPING SOFTWARE: I started with PropStream. Added Privy later because I liked specific features for cash buyers.
But here's the thing - I didn't add Privy until I'd completely mastered PropStream first.
DISPO PLATFORMS: When people argue whether "Investor Base is just Investor Lift's God Mode," it tells me one thing:
They haven't mastered either platform.
The real experts know Investor Base has skip tracing that hits different than Investor Lift.
They know certain buyers only exist on one platform.
They know the nuances because they stopped platform-hopping long enough to learn.
THE 90-DAY RULE: If you commit to paying for software, give it 90 DAYS minimum. Free trials are fine for testing, but once money leaves your account, shut up and learn the damn software.
What to actually use:
LEAD GENERATION: Pick ONE.
• Broke? Speed to Lead Coupon Club.
• Got cash? Ispeed Fixed Price, Lead Zolo or Property Leads.
COMPING: Pick ONE.
• Non-disclosure state? Probably Privy.
• Normal market? PropStream is fine.
DISPO: Pick ONE based on your budget.
• Free Investor Lift works but you'll pay to blast deals.
• Want all-in-one? Deal Speed or Investor Base.
THE HARD TRUTH: When deals fall apart, 99% of the time it's because:
You suck at talking to sellers
Your comping and underwriting is off
Your follow-up is non-existent
Every time I see someone blame their software then jump to the next shiny subscription, I know they're avoiding the real work: developing actual skills.
Our business doesn't succeed because we have the "best" software. We succeed because we've mastered the tools we use and developed the skills that actually matter.
