What are some of your recommendations for skip tracing?

Question

Hello Investors-

Finally closed my first investment property! After several months of different prospecting I've decided to read more learn more and now I am going ask all you all. If you had to recommend a reasonable skip tracing program for someone as a beginner somewhat ready to tackle on anything, which one would you suggest?

Thanks

I have been using Propstream for the past month or so. I think they all have their weaknesses, and none are going to be 100% accurate. If you call enough some are bound to work though, volume is important!

Hey @Juan Carlos!

Congratulations man! Closing your first investment property is a milestone achievement and definitely one you'll remember as you continue on in your career.

There are a ton of skip tracing services out there! There may be some that will let you just submit names but if they do, I would question their results. In order for you to have the most accurate results you should have the name and mailing address of the person you want to skip. This allows for the skip tracer to use a true accurate list to get you the best results.

Most of the larger names all use the same data and automate your results so it would be a matter of pricing and features that stand out to you. Most of them will have less than optimal results when it comes to mobile home parks, commercial, LLCs and trust because that is a double skip tracing process that their automation can't process. These require more of a personal interaction and deeper digging that involves websites like OpenCorporates or the Secretary of State websites.

There are some skip tracers that can do this. If you would like a referral code or more information please let me know :)

Good luck!
