What kinds of skip tracing have you had success with?

[Brian Truman]

Hello BP!

I have been sending out direct mail, and getting a ton of returned mail. I have not yet tried a skip tracing service, the process seems a bit daunting. I was wondering if those of you who do have access to that kind of info..... how has it been working for you? Has it been worth it? Have any of your deals come from that list? 

I have heard of Lexis Nexus, TLO, and one or two others. But my understanding is that they are a pretty intense process. 

Also.... is there a middle ground type of service that is out there, that I don't have to go through massive hoops just to get access, that balances information with cost effectiveness? Thank you in advance!
