Driving for Dollars & Contacting Owners
Hey BP! I have a question regarding how to get in contact with owners after driving for dollars. I read elsewhere on BP that beenverified is a good source so I gave that a try. Unfortunately, I have found it to be very ineffective and inefficient. In my experience, I have found an owners actual contact information in probably 1 out of every 15 homes. On the best, most distressed leads I have found from driving for dollars, I have not found one owner's contact information on beenverified!
Any suggestions on other resources to use to get into contact with owners? Thanks!

I have heard of people being able to skip trace to acquire that info, but I do not have any sources. If you search for that term here on BP, you may find some. For me, I sent 17 letters in hand written envelops to off market multi family owners in my market and got 7 return calls. Two of them told me straight up that they only opened them because it was a hand written envelope. The content on the letters was all the same and printed, but I took the extra 30 seconds each to hand write the address on the outside.
