 Yes, so I've heard! Going to go the skip tracing route but keep collections agencies open if the need arises.

Skip tracing did not even cross my mind, thanks Jeff! My attorney who represented me for the court case against the tenant had informed me that we needed their current address before we can proceed to collecting the debt. With heir address, he will be able to serve them and get them to come into his office to obtain further information from them (i.e banking information, current employment, etc). As we were granted a money judgment from the court, we can then proceed to garnishing their wages or obtaining funds from their bank.

But thanks for the heads up by sharing your story! Definitely need to be careful while going about this to not end up with any more legal fees!

Hey all,

Anyway to find the current address of an evicted tenant without resorting to collections agencies? They owe me several months worth of back rent and even fooled the court during the hearing by providing the address of my property where they were previously living. I want to avoid handing the case over to collections due to the high fees and cut they would be taking upon receiving the funds. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

@Jason Hirko I did not know about USAA, Valero and the tech companies! Very interesting. I see that you're a lender? Going to dm you...let's chat about financing

@Paul Blair Sounds like a more mature, seasoned market. The stability of higher class tenants is second to none and a very smart way to hedge and diversify one's portfolio. I'd have to crunch some numbers and see if I can make it work though. Over $250k is going to be a stretch for where I'm at currently

@Paul Blair Yeah that's what I noticed. How's the tourism there? Also, with higher prices compared to Houston and San Antonio, would you say Dallas as a whole attracts more A-B class tenants?

@Jason Hirko Sounds like an opportunity to jump in! With Austin prices already super high (compared to the rest of the State) + somewhat of a remote work environment, it's possible that a migration towards San Antonio will start to pick up for more blue collar, price sensitive tenants looking for cheaper housing . What do you think?

@Trampas Tanklage That's the sentiment I'm getting!

@Victor Steffen Correct. I'm more around the Buffalo Area (Lackawanna and South Towns). Surprised you're familiar with Jamestown!

@Bruce Lynn I've been eying North Texas, but have been struggling to find something within my price range. Will look in those areas to see if I can find something suitable

And good point on STRs, definitely something to consider.

Thanks!
