Step 1: Choose Your Search Region
With PropStream, you can find properties in a specific city, county, zip code (search up to five zip codes), address, or APN to narrow your results.
Pro Tip: Want to target an even smaller area, like a street or even a side of a street? Use our Draw Tool!
Step 2: Study Your Market
Studying markets of interest will help you uncover the average rental costs in the region as well as growth opportunities, ensuring you’re making the wisest investment decision.
We suggest getting a thorough understanding of your market before spending too much time saving leads or reaching out. If you examine a market that doesn’t offer the potential you’re looking for, you may want to head back to step 1 and select a new region.
Step 4: Create Your Marketing Lists
With PropStream, you can organize your leads into lists based on certain criteria, like:
- Geographic location
- Potential selling motivation
- Average rental amount
Or any other criteria you prefer.
Pro Tip: With Lead Automator, you can have new leads that match your search criteria sent straight to your inbox. Also, Lead Automator will notify you of leads that no longer fit your search criteria, so you can remove them from your lists if you choose.
Step 6: Get in Touch
You’ve chosen your rental market, made some solid lead lists, and budgeted for potential renovations. Now, it’s time to start connecting with your leads.
