Skip tracing LLCs is a double skip process. First, you need to look up the registered agent/owner and then skip trace that individual. Sometimes LLCs set up their company through a third part company and an agent from that company will be listed as the registered contact- which does you no good. Find a company that has flexible spending options that does this double-skip process without charging you extra. Let me know if you need more information or a referral code to a company that can do this for you.

Hi @Andrea Cepeda

I agree with the other comments above, you are doing a lot of good things and working to surround yourself with investment minded individuals. I Host a weekly virtual call with a group of investors, lenders, CFPs, etc. Would be more than happy to include you on the invite, as it may help you continue to build your network. 

I have no doubt that you will successfully purchase your first home within the next few years, keep pushing!

You need to find a mentor.  

Mentors can come from ANYWHERE literally.  Recently, I bumped into a pastor who I had seen a few times at a local coffee shop.  Started making small talk with him while I was waiting for my coffee.  Started talking a bit and I mentioned I was looking into real estate properties and low and behold, he has like 8 rental units and has been renting properties out for the last 10 years or so.  So the last few weeks we have been meeting regularly to talk about rentals!! 

Just start talking to people about what you plan on doing in your future and unexpected doors will open. 

You are doing a lot correct just by waking up every day being focused on your goal. Get it laser sharp and then just start 'casting' the people into your life you would need once that goal is realized. Keep them close and ask a lot of questions.

If you meet an investor with all the money you need, be clear on what value you can bring to them. Would you property manage the deal you bring? would you want them to invest in something you want to own with them jointly? What makes investing with you a safe and comfy place for their money? 

You also have an awesome opportunity to learn every aspect of how the business works at the company where you work. Investors like to know you're knowledgeable enough to not loose their money when things go wrong. Knowledge can really be better than capital in this business. 

Also, have you considered starting out by partnering with someone who wants a multifamily and whom you can earn from? One deal comes from another sometimes. Find them a deal, ask them a ton of questions and be willing to do the leg work they direct you to do.

Just a thought.
