Best overall lead gen/SMS/skip tracing for newbie?

[Rae Ashleigh]

Have searched & read the many forum posts re: many platforms including PropStream, ListSource, DealMachine, Property Radar, REIPro, The Automated REI, Carrot. They have been helpful, but still feeling a little overwhelmed by a plethora of options.

We've read about them all individually but wondered if anyone who has familiarity with or who has used multiple different platforms could offer some advice. We've read that with many of them, the skip tracing is subpar so have connected with some individuals who can do that for us, but not sure if that is likely to be more accurate?

We understand that a title company, town assessor's office, etc is more accurate, but we are struggling to find the connections & time for this. 

We aren't total newbies; we have some rental properties already, but with the market so tight, we are looking to broaden our approach and haven't tried these methods before. We are looking to find off market deals w/lead lists & SMS. We are using BP Pro as well as our own analysis tools to evaluate deals. Cost of the platform is not a huge issue as long as it's accurate & easy to use.

All insight & recommendations welcome!
