Why hasn't BP helped with this question?
Hey guys I have been reading through posts on here about skip tracing and I have yet to see someone definitively recommend a skip tracing service, or say who to stay away from. Most of the questions go unanswered. Is that because no one here using them? Do they just not want to share that info? Can they even share that information? Usually the BP community is pretty good about helping and answering questions, but I can't really find any good advice or sources to use for finding property owners information especially their phone number. I hope someone out there can and does help, I feel like there are plenty of other people that need to know this besides me.

Hey @Michael Guzik (can't tag you using my phone), skip tracing is talked about quite frequently. Just do a search & you'll see all the posts.
Anyway, I have VAs overseas who have access to Lexis Nexis, and TLO. Both services IMO, are the best in the industry. "Hit Rate" (phone #s found) is about 98% and usually they'll find multiple phone #s of the owner; accuracy is I'd say about 70%
