Real estate wholesaler's scraping setup for lead generation is failing due to IP blocks, captchas, and geo-inaccurate data, threatening daily lead flow.
Residential proxies are being blocked or captcha'd within 100-200 requests per IP, and geo-mismatch leads to skewed comps; rotating faster wastes bandwidth. Considering mobile proxies (Voidmob, Soax, Proxidize) for better IP reputation and geo-accuracy, but unsure of their effectiveness and cost. Data aggregator APIs might be cost-prohibitive at 3-4k listings/day.
Workarounds Described
- uses residential proxies with manual IP rotation to scrape real estate platforms
- runs seller info through skip trace providers manually after scraping
Implied Software Gaps
- Proxy management system with automated rotation and block detection
- Integrated skip tracing and data enrichment workflow
