PropStream and DealBeast solve different parts of the wholesale day. Mixing them up is how comparison pages get dishonest.
PropStream is built to find properties and owners. Distress filters, skip data, list pulls. DealBeast is built to decide the number once you already have an address: ARV, MAO, ask vs MAO on one screen.
You can use both. You should not expect one to replace the other.
PropStream is for finding properties
If your job this morning is "who owns tired houses in this ZIP," PropStream is in range. Lists, absentee filters, equity signals, skip tracing. That is acquisition research.
Wholesalers who live on cold outreach need that layer. DealBeast does not pretend to be a list platform. No distress filter suite. No skip product. Fair line: PropStream wins the find.
DealBeast is for deciding the number
Once you have an address (and usually an ask), the question flips. What is ARV? What is MAO after rehab and your fee? How far is ask from MAO? That gap decides call, cut, or pass. Learn more about ask vs MAO.
DealBeast starts at paste address. Comps and ARV come with the analysis. MAO and ask vs MAO sit on the same screen. Rent, cash flow, and DOM show up so you know hold vs flip flavor after the offer clears.

How wholesalers use them together
- Build or buy a list in PropStream (or any data tool).
- Narrow to a short stack of addresses worth a look.
- Paste each address into DealBeast.
- Sort by ask vs MAO. Call under-MAO files first.
- Keep PropStream for owner contact and list refresh. Keep DealBeast for the numbers pass.
FAQ
Is DealBeast a PropStream alternative?
Not for list building. It is the analysis layer after you have an address.
Do I need both?
Many wholesalers pull leads in a data tool, then paste winners into DealBeast for ARV/MAO before calling.
What if I only need MAO math?
Use the MAO calculator free, or paste the address for comps + MAO together.
