Hello BP!

Are there any skip trace software you guys recommend that is accurate to do an address reverse look up? 

Do you know property radar’s app is accurate with the homeowner’s cell phone number and mailing addresses?

@Bryan Pham - I don't consider our product a "skip trace" tool. You can do a quick search for properties that people (or companies) own based on their name, phone or email. You also quick search for properties, and their owners, by address, APN, or by just clicking on the property on a map. From there we provide property address, mailing address, phone numbers, etc. Depending on what you need it might be enough.

A true skip trace tool like Accurint or TLO will pull data from credit reports, tell you where they work, show criminal and driving records, show possible relationships to other people, past addresses, aliases, and other tools that law enforcement, collection agencies, PI's, etc need to try to find folks who are missing or hiding. Access to much of the data is often limited to people in certain professions, and doing certain activities - though I've certainly heard of investors lying to get access, I wouldn't recommend that.
