DealCheck is solid once the inputs exist. DealBeast is built for the pass that comes first: paste the address, read ARV and MAO, then sort call / cut / pass on ask vs MAO. That is the wholesaler job on a Tuesday morning.
Where wholesalers still get stuck
A typical morning is twelve leads in a sheet. Asks next to addresses. No clean ARV yet. No repair number you trust. DOM might say 41 days on one and 9 on another. Rent and cash flow only matter after the file clears the offer gate.
What slows you down:
- Rebuilding comps by hand so the calculator has an ARV
- Guessing MAO without a fixed fee path
- Spending twenty minutes on a model when ask is already $28k over MAO
- No fast ask vs MAO signal, so every lead feels like a maybe
Ask vs MAO is the triage. Call when ask sits under MAO. Cut when it is close and you need a seller talk. Pass when ask is clearly over and DOM is not helping you.
Buyer MAO is simple: (ARV × 0.70) − repairs. Your contract price is buyer MAO − assignment fee. If the tool does not make that path obvious, you are still doing wholesale math in your head. See the 70% rule when you want the buyer discount spelled out.
What DealCheck is good at
Fair credit. DealCheck earns its keep when you already have ARV, rehab, and rent. Deep flip modeling. Rental and BRRRR paths. Reports you can hand a partner who wants the long version.
If your workflow is "inputs ready, now run the model," DealCheck is in its lane. Paid tiers add more of that calculator depth. That is not the same job as clearing a raw address list before lunch.

Who should pick which
Pick DealCheck
If ARV and rehab are already sitting in front of you and you want deep flip, rental, or BRRRR reports. Calculator territory. No shame in that.
Pick DealBeast
If the bottleneck is the address list. Paste, read ARV and MAO, sort by ask vs MAO, call the under-MAO files first.
Worked example (illustrative only, not a live pull)
1Seller ask: $214,000
2ARV: $310,000
3Repairs: $28,000
Buyer MAO = (ARV × 0.70) − repairs
Buyer MAO = ($310,000 × 0.70) − $28,000
Buyer MAO = $189,000
5Your assignment fee: $12,000 → contract offer $177,000
Ask ($214k) sits over your contract ($177k). Pass or renegotiate. You did not need a twelve-page model to see that.
Some people use both. Morning board in DealBeast. Long report in DealCheck for a buyer who asks for it. That is fine. Just do not pretend the first job and the second job are the same tool.
Paste an address. Get ARV, MAO, and ask vs MAO in one screen.

FAQ
Is DealBeast a DealCheck alternative?
For wholesalers who need address → ARV → MAO without rebuilding inputs every time, yes. That is the alternatives search in plain English. If you live in detailed rental PDFs and already have the numbers, DealCheck may still fit.
Does DealBeast do BRRRR and rentals?
Yes on cash flow, rent, and related metrics. The sharp edge for most of our users is wholesale speed: ARV, MAO, and ask vs MAO before the BRRRR model.
Can I try DealBeast without a credit card?
Free analyses available. Start free, upgrade when you are closing deals.
How does assignment fee sit inside MAO?
Buyer MAO = (ARV × 0.70) − repairs. Your contract / assignment price = buyer MAO − assignment fee. DealBeast keeps that path on the same screen as ask vs MAO so you are not subtracting the fee on a napkin.
What is call / cut / pass on ask vs MAO?
Ask under MAO → call. Ask near MAO → cut (seller talk). Ask clearly over → pass. Full walkthrough: ask vs MAO for wholesalers.
What does DealBeast cost compared to DealCheck?
DealBeast: Starter $19.99 / Pro $49.99 / Ninja $74.99, with free analyses first. DealCheck prices by plan and feature depth. Compare your bottleneck (inputs ready vs address list) before you compare line items.
