Where investors use both

  1. If you do residential and commercial. TrueCap for residential underwriting; Reonomy for CRE prospecting + due diligence.
  2. Purely residential investors. Reonomy is overkill — residential MLS, PropStream, or DealMachine fit better. TrueCap handles the underwriting.
  3. Purely commercial investors.Reonomy + a CRE-specific underwriting tool (Argus, RealNex). TrueCap isn't built for CRE.

Common questions about TrueCap vs Reonomy

Quick answers to the questions investors comparison-shopping these tools actually ask.

Is TrueCap a Reonomy alternative?
No — different asset classes. Reonomy is commercial real estate intelligence. TrueCap is residential rental underwriting. The two don't overlap meaningfully.
Reonomy vs PropStream — which one?
Different asset classes. Reonomy is commercial real estate (office, retail, industrial, large multifamily). PropStream is residential (single-family, small multifamily, distressed sellers). If you're sourcing CRE deals, Reonomy. If you're sourcing residential off-market deals, PropStream.
Is Reonomy enterprise-only?
Effectively yes. Reonomy uses custom enterprise pricing (typically $300+/month and up depending on data tier and team size). They primarily serve CRE brokers, lenders, and institutional investors. For solo residential investors, the data isn't relevant and the price isn't justified.
Does Reonomy do underwriting?
No — it's a data intelligence platform. You pull property data, owner contact info, debt + transaction history, then use that data as input to your own underwriting model (an Argus model, an Excel CRE underwrite, or a custom institutional process).
Should solo investors care about Reonomy?
Only if you're moving into commercial real estate. For residential investing (the bulk of TrueCap's audience), Reonomy isn't relevant — the data doesn't cover SFR ownership in the way PropStream / BatchLeads do, and the price is built for enterprise budgets.
