Skip Tracing Help Please!!

Hey everyone! I was in need of some advice regarding skip tracing. I have about 70 vacant properties I found while driving for dollars. I've skip traced about 60 of them and haven't had much luck getting ahold of the owner

 Ive had some people say they weren't' really interested in selling but they would consider an offer... but then lowest price they're willing to accept is way too high!! 100k for a fire damaged home is way too much. I've had some people say they'll call me back but they never do and I can't get a hold of them again. A lot of numbers just ring and ring and give dead air. 

So my questions is... What is the best process to get a hold of these property owners? And what would you recommend for a follow up system? I feel scattered and a little discouraged. Thanks!

How are you skip tracing the owners and are you using the mailing address or property address when searching?    If you are using a free/cheap service like whitepages, spokeo, beenverified, etc that is part of the problem.  Secondly you need more than 60 leads.  I would say plan to make contact with at least double that amount.  No deals?...analyze and adjust....analyze and adjust until you have a 1-3% conversion rate.
