Flipping houses combines several businesses in one: finding sellers, evaluating properties, negotiating offers, getting contracts to closing, managing renovations and tracking profitability.
House flipping software can help you with each of those tasks and skill sets. But not all house flip softwares are created equal — some excel in one area but do little in another.
The best flipping software for you depends on where you’re losing the most time or money. Calculators help prevent overpaying for properties; renovation platforms help control construction costs; a CRM helps turn seller leads into purchases.
Here are the seven heavyweights in the real estate flipping software industry, along with each of their pros, cons, standout features and limitations.
REsimpli
No sense being coy. No one knows REsimpli’s features better than… REsimpli.
The REsimpli house flipping software excels at finding seller leads, marketing to them and tracking the profitability of each marketing channel. And not just providing support while you do it, but automating most of the work on your behalf. REsimpli combines classic automations and AI to handle both the marketing and the follow-up with leads.
You can pull lists of leads such as foreclosures or tax sales, and with a single click put them into automated marketing campaigns. These campaigns can include direct mail, email, cold call dialers and more.
REsimpli also makes it simple to set up a seller website with a few clicks and create SEO and online ad campaigns for it, for inbound marketing.
When a lead calls you, the call gets routed to a sequence of phone numbers so it doesn’t go unanswered, or to an AI agent to answer and take down the most critical details. Then the lead goes on an automated drip campaign for follow-up, so no lead falls through the cracks.
REsimpli is a robust, start-to-finish flipping pipeline automation software. It’s designed to take over all the back-end work of running a flipping business, to keep your team lean and your profit margins fat. As such, the setup can take a moment to customize for your flipping business. It costs more than some software for house flippers.
Cost: The Solo tier starts at $249/month billed annually ($299 if paid monthly), Team at $699 (or $899 if monthly) and Business at $1,799 (or $2,199 if monthly). The complete REsimpli AI bundle is included in every new plan. REsimpli also offers a 14-day free trial to see exactly how it works.
FlipperForce
FlipperForce shines at helping hands-on rehabbers manage construction schedules, budgets, receipts and juggling multiple house projects. Where REsimpli focuses more on automating the process of property acquisition, FlipperForce focuses on the renovation projects.
Standout features include flip and BRRRR analyzers, rehab cost estimating tools, scheduling, task management, budget-versus-actual spend tracking, expense importing and a mobile app for when you’re in the field.
Too many flippers perpetually blow their renovation budgets and timelines. FlipperForce helps add accountability, connecting the original investment assumptions with the actual project spending. And because many flippers work as a team, the team plans help manage shared tasks and projects with multiple permission levels.
While FlipperForce works wonders for project execution, don’t expect it to help much on the marketing or acquisition side.
Cost: The Solo plan costs $79/month, or $59/month annually, and only allows up to 50 leads or projects. Their Team plan jumps to $199/month, or $149 annually. Business is $499/month on monthly billing.
DealCheck
Occasionally flip a house on the side of your day job?
You probably don’t need a professional-grade house flipping software platform like REsimpli. Beginners and occasional flippers who just want basic tools can get away with an entry-level house flip software like DealCheck.
It includes a house flipping calculator, financing scenarios, sales comparisons, offer calculations, side-by-side property comparisons and shareable investment reports. That makes it useful for comparing deals and scrutinizing financing assumptions. As an additional upside, it works well across devices including mobile and tables.
It remains a limited flipping software tool however. With a focus on analysis, that leaves flippers having to look elsewhere for help with acquisition, marketing, accounting and renovation support.
Still, it’s hard to argue with its free entry point however, which remains a standout feature.
Cost: Starter is free; Plus costs $10/month if you pay annually ($14 if monthly) and Pro costs $20/month ($29 if monthly). The paid plans offer a 14-day trial as well.
PropStream
While PropStream plays in a similar sandbox as REsimpli, it was designed as a research tool first and foremost, while REsimpli was designed as a real estate CRM for acquisition automation.
PropStream excels at nationwide property research, lead list building, AI-assisted searches and lead list exports. The real estate flipping software also offers optional marketing and contact add-on tools, including owner skip tracing, click-to-dial and lead automation. Read up on the differences between PropStream and REsimpli’s fix-and-flip software for more details.
As a downside, watch out for add-on services bumping up the total cost beyond the membership price. Skip tracing, mailings and other services can cost extra.
Cost: The entry-level Essentials tier costs $81/month ($99 if you pay monthly); Pro costs $165/month (or $199 monthly); Elite costs $583/month (or $699 monthly). PropStream offers a seven-day free trial that includes 50 leads.
Privy
Looking for more MLS analysis and on-market deals in your home flipping software?
Privy’s “Comparative Search” tool uses investor activity to surface opportunities. Meanwhile, “LiveCMA” lets users review active, pending and sold comparables, and adjust search criteria.
As a flipping software, it excels at helping investors research and compare prospective properties against MLS comps and real market activity. Just don’t expect it to help you score off-market deals or run marketing campaigns and lead follow-up.
Also, beware that it doesn’t work in every market across the country. Double check its reach in your target market, and note that Privy charges by the market.
Cost: Privy charges $78/month for a single market ($97 if you pay monthly); $119/month for three markets ($149 if monthly); or $199/month for nationwide access ($249 if monthly), with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Confirm geographic coverage and package scope at checkout.
Rehab Valuator
As the name suggests, this house flipping software shines in project analysis and presentations for lenders or funding investors.
Standout features include maximum-offer calculations, comparing different financing scenarios, funding proposals, rehab budgets, scopes of work and project management. Rehab Valuator can help you run the numbers, show them off to lenders and investors, and manage the work once purchased.
It certainly doesn’t hurt that Rehab Valuator offers a free membership tier. Unfortunately, it excludes many of the most useful flipping software features.
Cost: The Lite tier is free; Premium costs $49/month or $397/year and only allows a single user; Pro costs $99/month or $897/year, supporting up to six users.
Propelio
Propelio helps local flippers with driving-for-dollars, property data and comparable sales at a relatively low entry price.
Users can pull up property and owner data while driving for dollars, and pull property comps and CMA reports. From there, they can run skip tracing reports, export leads and even send direct mail postcards to them.
A free plan makes Propelio especially attractive for house flippers just starting out, letting you explore some simple-but-helpful flipping software features.
Beware that Propelio offers four different pricing tiers, each with its own caps, limits and per-item costs.
Cost: In addition to the Free level, Beginner costs $21/month ($29 if paid monthly); Intermediate costs $38/month ($49 if monthly); Advanced costs $76/month ($98 if monthly). Direct mail costs extra, as do skip traces at some membership levels.
So… what’s the best software for house flippers?
It depends on what you need.
A novice working on their first few house flips needs different support from house flipping software than a professional with a team working round the clock. If you’re just starting out, dabble with a few of the free membership tiers outlined above.
As a quick shorthand, consider using REsimpli for off-market acquisitions and marketing, FlipperForce for renovation execution, DealCheck for affordable underwriting, PropStream for off-market research, Privy for MLS discovery, Rehab Valuator for funding presentations and Propelio for economical prospecting.
Take advantage of a free trial offer when you’re ready to test an actual property from start to finish. When you’re ready to run your entire acquisitions pipeline on auto-pilot, try REsimpli’s real estate flipping software risk-free with its 14-day free trial.
