DealMachine

What Is DealMachine?

DealMachine is a mobile-first real estate investing platform built around one core idea: find distressed properties faster and contact the owner before anyone else does.

The app started as a driving-for-dollars tool. You drive a neighborhood, spot a run-down house, tap the property on your phone, and DealMachine instantly surfaces the owner's name, contact info, and property data. No manual lookups. No switching between apps.

Over time the platform expanded into a full lead generation suite. Today it includes list building with 700+ filters, unlimited skip tracing, automated direct mail campaigns, an AI assistant called Alma, and a built-in CRM. Everything lives inside one subscription.

The platform serves solo investors, small teams, and growing wholesaling operations across the country.

Who Is DealMachine Best For?

DealMachine is the go-to choice for wholesalers who do driving for dollars as their primary lead source. If you like getting in your car, identifying visual distress, and building your own hyper-local lists, this tool was built for you.

It also works well for investors who want to layer on list-based outreach without paying separately for skip tracing. The Starter plan includes unlimited contact pulls, which eliminates the per-record fees that eat into margins with standalone skip trace services.

Smaller teams (two to six people) will find the Pro and Pro Plus plans useful for shared routes, lead assignment, and campaign coordination.

Where DealMachine is less ideal: virtual wholesalers who never drive, investors who need a heavy-duty CRM with pipeline automation, or operators working at high volume who need phone support around the clock.

Our Verdict

DealMachine is one of the most polished driving-for-dollars apps on the market. The mobile experience is genuinely fast, the unlimited skip tracing removes a real cost headache, and the addition of Alma (their AI assistant) adds deal analysis and outreach scripting right inside the workflow.

The trade-offs are real. The Starter plan at $119/month (or $99/month billed annually) is not cheap for a brand-new investor still figuring out their first deal. Email accuracy lags behind phone accuracy, so expect to rely primarily on calling. And the CRM is functional but won't replace a dedicated platform if you're managing hundreds of active leads with complex pipelines.

For a wholesaler doing consistent driving for dollars and wanting lead gen, skip tracing, and direct mail under one roof, DealMachine delivers solid value. Evaluate the annual billing option — the 17% discount makes the price significantly more digestible.
