@Joe Gore Hello Sir.I have read several of the threads relating to skip tracing companies and you seem to have a pretty good finger on who's the best provider, I.E. direct from credit bureau.Currently I am subscribed to Intelius, and the rate of accurate phone numbers sucks, sucks bad.What is your success rate with utilizing the credit bureaus for obtaining cell numbers, as most folks no longer have a land line?

. :) Most yellow card/letter experts say drive traffic through a automated call tree system and not your cell phone.

Besides there is a calendar on every cell phone.

Also remember that texts are actually driven with email as well so you can use a service like Data-247 to convert the cell number into an email address...

My direct mail VM system will fwd to my cell phone..

I have actually been working on an Excel sheet that includes depreciation recapture and the effect on your profit on the property. i attached part of a screen shot, i am still working on it ( off and on) but what i have come to figure is that there is a time when it is best to sell the property, otherwise you do start losing money.( unless you keep it and have it passed to your heirs). the sample i have on there is a house bought for 110K / 90K loan, as you see the yellow highlight is on a cell that reaches a tipping point on when your income, taxes and depreciation recapture tax / closing costs, would start to "cost" money - you would not make as much upon sale of the property. and i broke it down to 27 years, didn't see a need to have that 1/2 yr in the model.I also have it to where if you add to the asset ( addition, etc) it will add to the basis and change the numbers, but like i said there are still things i want to work out more and add.this does not include cost segregation as @Jay Hinrichs,@Jeff Glass,@Eamonn McElroy,@Barry Ruby and @Yonah Weiss have mentioned this is just a straight depreciation on a residential property.

So my only expense was cell phone and food.We have since boosted that personal income but still remain to live frugal.

I call sellers back from my cell phone number so they have that for next time.

Sorry, but I'm "Mr Skeptical" as I don't believe the 'My Son's got cancer' story.As the Property is held in an entity, this is no longer an unsophicated seller dealing with an emotional issue.
