BatchLeads Alternative for Short-Term Rental Owner Leads

BatchLeads and its former sister company BatchData are two of the most common answers when someone asks where to get property owner phone numbers in bulk. Both are built on nationwide property and owner records with skip tracing on top. Neither describes a way, on its public pages, to pick out short-term rentals. This page covers what each product does, what it costs as published, and how short-term rental permit registers compare when the people you need are STR operators.

We read every vendor page cited here on October 23, 2026. Plans and prices change, so confirm on the vendor's site before you buy.

What BatchLeads and BatchData are

BatchLeads is a lead platform for real estate professionals. Its home page describes "free skip tracing, one-click lead lists, outbound campaigns, and CRM features" in one product, says it is trusted by more than 10,000 real estate professionals, and lists investors, wholesalers, agents and brokers, title companies, mortgage lenders and home services firms among its users. Its logo now reads "BatchLeads powered by PropStream."

That branding reflects a 2025 deal. An announcement on BatchDialer's site, dated July 7, 2025, says PropStream acquired BatchLeads and BatchDialer, and that PropStream would begin using BatchData as one of its data sources.

BatchData is the data business that stayed separate. Its company page says BatchLeads, BatchDialer and BatchData all began as products of BatchService, founded in 2018, and that PropStream became a significant data customer after the July 2025 deal. BatchData's home page describes property, owner, contact, mortgage, lien and likely-seller data delivered "by API, bulk or cloud," with a catalog of more than 1,000 data points across 155 million properties. It serves lenders, real estate portals, insurers, marketers, title and legal firms, and government. It is a data supplier for companies building their own systems, rather than a point-and-click tool.

Both are well suited to their main job: finding owners of properties that match financial or ownership criteria, and getting a phone or email for them at scale.

What they give you for short-term rental owner contacts

BatchLeads automatically skip-traces saved leads, so once an address is in your list you usually get the owner's phone numbers and emails as part of your plan. That makes it a fast way to attach contact details to a list you already have.

Building the list of short-term rentals is the harder part. The BatchLeads home and pricing pages, as we read them, do not mention short-term rentals, Airbnb or vacation rentals. Nor does the BatchData home or pricing page. The usual approach is to filter for absentee owners or out-of-area mailing addresses in tourist ZIP codes. That produces a list where short-term rentals are mixed with long-term rentals, second homes that are never rented, and land.

One BatchData item is easy to misread. Its pricing page lists a "Permit Summary" add-on, and its home page describes a "Permits & Improvements" dataset with permit types such as solar, pool and roof, job values and contractor details. Those are building permits for work done on a property. A short-term rental permit is a different thing: a license to rent the home to short-stay guests. A building permit for a new pool does not tell you whether the home is an Airbnb.

BatchLeads and BatchData pricing as published

The BatchLeads pricing page, read on October 23, 2026, listed:

• Growth: $119 a month, 10,000 leads and 20,000 exports a month, 3 users.
• Professional: $349 a month, 35,000 leads and 70,000 exports, 8 users.
• Scale: $749 a month, 75,000 leads and 150,000 exports, 26 users.
• Enterprise: custom pricing on annual contracts.

The page advertised savings of up to 40 percent on annual commitments without listing the annual dollar amounts. It said phone numbers and emails are included in the plans, with overage leads at 4 cents each.

The BatchData pricing page listed monthly plans by product. Property data started at $1,000 a month for 100,000 records. Skip tracing started at $2,000 a month for 100,000 records, rising to $20,000 a month for 3 million. Add-ons included listing data at $600 a month and contact enrichment at $5,000 a month. These are prices for companies buying data at volume.

How permit-register data differs

A short-term rental permit register is a list a city, county or state keeps of homes licensed for short stays. The applicant supplies the address and their name, and in some places a phone number and email. Many agencies publish these lists on open-data portals or maps. See what is inside a permit record for the full field list.

Compared with BatchLeads or BatchData:

• The rental status is certain. Each row is a home someone registered as a short-term rental. You do not need to guess from absentee status.
• The name is the operator. The applicant is usually the person running the rental, which may differ from the deed owner on a trust or LLC property.
• Contact data is whatever the government published. Some registers include phones and emails on most rows; many include none. Lead Mining Company passes them on as published and does not verify them.
• Coverage is patchy by design. Only places that require and publish permits appear. Rentals operating without a permit are absent.

When BatchLeads or BatchData is the right tool

• You invest, wholesale or lend, and you need distress, equity and mortgage signals with contact details included.
• You need phones and emails for a list of addresses you already have, at volume, with skip tracing bundled into the plan.
• You are building your own software and want property and contact data by API (BatchData).
• Your target is homeowners in general, and short-term rental status is not your filter.

When permit data is the right tool

• Your service only makes sense for short-term rental operators, so every non-STR row in your list is wasted spend.
• You want to catch new operators. PermitPulse currently holds 26,549 records filed in the last 12 months and 4,147 pending applications (why that matters).
• You want to know which owners hold several rentals. Permit files make that countable by operator name (how).
• You prefer a flat price per state over a per-lead or per-record model.

Using BatchLeads and permit data together

The pairing is most useful where a register publishes addresses but few phones. Texas is the largest example. Texas has no statewide STR license, but short-term rentals collect hotel occupancy tax, so they appear on the state's tax permit roll (how to read it). As of October 2026, our Texas file held 57,734 records, of which 9,017 had a phone or email.

A worked example for a Gulf Coast turnover cleaning company:

1. Download the Texas file for $149 once, or take the $99-a-month state plan.
2. Filter to your service-area cities and remove rows that already have a phone. Say 2,000 addresses remain (an example figure).
3. Import the 2,000 addresses into BatchLeads. On the Growth plan, saved leads are skip-traced as part of the $119-a-month plan, and 2,000 is well inside its 10,000 monthly leads.
4. Mail the full list first (mail playbook), then follow up by phone only where the rules allow.

By our arithmetic from the published prices, that is $149 plus $119 for the first month, or $268, for a list where every address is a registered rental and most now carry a skip-traced phone. The match rate depends on BatchLeads' data and on how many of the owners it can trace, which we cannot predict.

Before you run the whole list, test 50 rows. Note how many return a phone, how many return an email and how many return nothing. Then check how often the skip-traced owner matches the name on the permit. Those two numbers, measured in your own market, are a better guide to the full cost than any national average.

Check names before calling: a skip trace finds the deed owner, and the permit names the operator. And remember that skip-traced numbers are often personal mobiles. Under the TCPA and the National Do Not Call Registry rules, scrub every number against the Registry and state lists, use no autodialers or artificial or prerecorded voices, and do not text without consent. Email falls under CAN-SPAM. Our TCPA and DNC guide has the details. This is general information, not legal advice.

BatchLeads, BatchData and permit data compared

Where Lead Mining Company fits

We sell the permit side of this comparison as PermitPulse: 283,611 records from public STR registers, 127,924 with a phone or email as the government published it. Plans are $99 a month for one state or $299 for all states, and a one-time state download is $149. If you need something neither BatchLeads nor a permit file does, such as matching permit rows to your own CRM automatically, we also build custom lead software. To check one address first, use the free STR permit lookup.

Frequently asked questions

Can BatchLeads find Airbnb owners?

BatchLeads can find and skip-trace the owner of any address. Its public pages, read on October 23, 2026, do not describe a short-term rental or Airbnb filter, so you would need another source to know which addresses are rentals. A permit register is one such source.

Is BatchData's permit data the same as STR permit data?

No. BatchData describes building permit data such as solar, pool and roof permits, with job values and contractors. A short-term rental permit is a license to rent a home to short-stay guests, issued by a city, county or state.

Is BatchLeads part of PropStream?

According to an announcement dated July 7, 2025 on BatchDialer's site, PropStream acquired BatchLeads and BatchDialer, and PropStream would use BatchData as one of its data sources. BatchLeads' logo now reads "powered by PropStream."

Do permit records include phone numbers?

Some do. It depends on what each register publishes. Across PermitPulse, 125,065 records have a phone and 64,233 have an email. Registers in Tennessee, Oregon, Illinois, South Carolina, North Carolina, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Wyoming publish neither.

Which is cheaper for a small STR service business?

For a list of registered STR operators in one state, a $149 permit download is the smallest outlay. If you then need phones for rows without one, BatchLeads Growth at $119 a month includes skip tracing on saved leads. Using both costs about $268 for the first month by our arithmetic.
