DealCheck

Bootstrapped proptech · San Diego · est. 2015
👤 Anton Ivanov (Navy vet, software dev, and 40-unit landlord — he built for himself and was already trusted inside the niche he sold to.)🌐 siteLinkedIn

A developer who owned 40 rentals built the deal calculator he wished existed — then the RE community did the selling.

Will it work? · our read
Trust, not code. The math was always copyable. What DealCheck owns is a founder the niche already believed: 350K users, zero ad budget, 11 bootstrapped years. Belonging beat features.

Revenue is EST, not disclosed. DealCheck has never published ARR; the "Est. $1-2M/yr" is our derivation from about 350K users x public $120-240/yr pricing at a conservative low-single-digit paid conversion — a guess, not a fact (not independently confirmed). Verified first-party: the 350K+ user count and 2015 San Diego founding (dealcheck.io), plus $0 outside funding (Tracxn). The "built it for himself as a 40-unit investor and developer" origin is from founder interviews (RETipster). The "credibility = distribution" reading is our interpretation, tagged as such. We never score you.
