Connected Investors Review: Is It Worth It?

Connected Investors is one of the most-searched names in real estate investing software — and a lot of that search comes from wholesalers asking one thing: is it worth the monthly fee? Here's an honest breakdown of what it actually is, what it does well, where it falls short for wholesalers, and the all-in-one alternative worth comparing it to.

Key Takeaways

• Connected Investors is a real-estate data + network platform. Its PiN ("Property Intelligence Network") software gives you nationwide property data, motivated-seller filters, and skip tracing, alongside an investor community and funding connections.
• It runs on three subscription tiers (monthly or annual, with roughly a 20% annual discount) and a 7-day free trial. Exact prices have shifted across tiers over time — confirm the current numbers on their pricing page rather than trusting a figure from any blog (including old versions of this one).
• Its strength is finding motivated-seller data and networking — it is not a full CRM, dialer, website, or disposition system, so you'll typically bolt those on.
• If you'd rather not stitch several tools together, an all-in-one built for wholesalers (like our own DispoStack) covers acquisition, CRM, website, and dispositions in one login.

What Is Connected Investors?

Connected Investors is a real-estate investing platform that combines property-data software (PiN) with an investor network and marketplace. You search nationwide property records with motivation filters (pre-foreclosure, absentee owner, high-equity, and similar), skip-trace owners, and connect with other investors, cash buyers, and private lenders in one community. Think of it as property data plus a social network for investors.

How Connected Investors Works

• Property data + lead filters — build motivated-seller lists from nationwide records instead of guessing.
• Skip tracing — look up owner phone and email (how many lookups you get depends on your tier).
• Network, marketplace & funding — post deals, find cash buyers and JV partners, and connect with private/hard-money lenders.

A 7-day free trial lets you test all of it before paying.

The "$99" Question

A big share of searches are for "Connected Investors $99" — the membership, subscription, or pricing. The honest answer: Connected Investors has offered different tiers at different price points over the years, so a single number in a blog post goes stale fast. Check the current plans on connectedinvestors.com/pricing. What matters more than the exact figure is what a tier includes — mainly your monthly skip-trace credits, property downloads, and reports. Map those limits to your real deal volume before you commit, and use the free trial to see whether the data density in your markets is worth it.

What It's Great At — and What It Isn't

Great at: nationwide property data and motivated-seller filtering, skip tracing, and a genuine community with funding/JV connections (rare among pure data tools).

Not built for: full CRM automation (visual pipelines, SMS/email sequences), power dialing, a lead-capture website, or running dispositions and buyer lists end to end. Most wholesalers end up pairing Connected Investors with a CRM, a dialer, and a website — which adds cost and moving parts.

Who Connected Investors Is For

• New or data-focused wholesalers who want nationwide lists, skip tracing, and an investor network in one login.
• Investors who value the funding and JV community as much as the data.

Consider something else if you want a true all-in-one (CRM + site + dispositions) or heavy automation working out of the box.

The All-in-One Alternative: DispoStack

Full disclosure: DispoStack is our own platform, so weigh this accordingly. Where Connected Investors centers on data and networking (and you add the rest), DispoStack is built to run the whole deal cycle in one place: a website builder (lead capture + SEO city pages), AI acquisition (offer generation, comps, seller scripts), a CRM with shared deal rooms, a buyer portal for dispositions, and no-code follow-up automations. So instead of Connected Investors plus a CRM plus a dialer plus a site, it's a single login from first lead to assigned contract. There's a 7-day free trial (no card required). If what you specifically want is the biggest nationwide data set and investor network, Connected Investors is a fair pick; if you want one tool that runs your pipeline, DispoStack is worth putting side by side.

The Bottom Line

Connected Investors is a legitimate data-plus-network platform — strongest for finding motivated-seller data and tapping an investor and funding community, not for being a full wholesaling operating system. Confirm current pricing on their site (don't trust a blog's number), match the tier's skip-trace and report limits to your volume, and if you'd rather run acquisition, CRM, your website, and dispositions from one place, compare it against DispoStack.
