Skip Tracing Failure

[Quinton Hagins]

I'm new to bigger pockets and the world of Real estate investing in general. I'm looking for my first property to fix and flip, or at least hand off to a seasoned investor to prove my worth gain some brownie points and watch and learn. I've been using the Dealmachine app to find owner information. it gives me the option to start mailers to the location or (the option i've been choosing) get the owners name, known addresses, and recent phone numbers associated. I keep running into the issue of outdated information, old phone numbers, addresses. Since most of the properties i've added are distressed almost all have absentee owners. i've even taken some of the names i got and put them into Facebook. Any suggestions on change in strategy are welcome. thanks in advance.
