Skip Tracing/ People Search

Kyohei Brewer
Posted

Hey BiggerPockets Family I wanted to see if anyone would be open to Share what successful methods/Services they have personally used to Contact property Leads that you may have found By Driving for Dollars or leads that a home is vacant. I've tried Direct mail and unfortunately with abandoned/vacant homes the Mail doesn't typically get Picked up or the postal Services put a stopper to the Address. I heard lead Sherpa was a source & possibly attorneys was a source. Any successful Help would be Much appreciated. Happy Holidays!

You are going to want to touch a lead 7 times before you move to the next marketing campaign. Don't waste your money on one mailer, 67% of deals come from follow up.

    There are several skip-tracing companies out there. Find one that does not have a high-priced long-term monthly contract, flexible pricing, and excellent customer service. If you need a referral code or more information let me know.

    I've had a good bit of success using OnX and finding a property owner name on there, then using family tree now (a free search tool) to find the persons contact info.  It's not a fast way to do a lot, but if you were searching out one property here and there it works pretty well.  Or instead of OnX you can use your county website + family tree now.
