Thanks in advance! I use Mojo for my cold callers, and somehow just realized they have skip tracing for $59/month flat rate.

Does anyone have any recent experience with it? I do see some negative feedback, but most of that is from 3 years ago so I'm wondering if it has improved.

The person I currently use charges $0.03/record or so and I do like their quality, but it would make a lot more sense for my process to have one of my in-house VAs running them through a system for me.

 I've never actually invested in my state haha, I look elsewhere.

 I learned on my own from YouTube and podcasts and a lot of trial and error, haha.

 Thanks Mary! Nice last name (: I wish you the best as well!

Hello all! New to the BiggerPockets community and thought posting my success story might be a good place to start.

About 5 years ago I was making $150k/year but was working myself to death quite literally. I felt like I had no direction and was just spinning my wheels. I looked into all kinds of things - dropshipping, etc, but I always came back to real estate. I started doing mailers and was making pretty decent money for a side hustle, but felt like I was just working even more and still couldn't quit my job.

Then 3 or so years I stumbled onto a certain market and really got my groove. I specialize in vacant land, specifically in lower dollar amount vacant lots. Don't get me wrong, I do big deals too - but there are a TON of buyers out there for lots that I can buy for $100-$300 and then sell for $1500-$5000. Those lots sell so quickly, are easy to close, and I really found my niche.

I told myself that I would quit my job when I was brining in $5,000/month on a consistent basis. $5,000/month came and went very quickly, and I haven't looked back. (and I DO NOT miss sitting in an office job all day, lol)

Today, I'm doing about 30-50 of these smaller dollar amount properties per month and 1-2 bigger dollar deals per month. I have a small staff of VAs to help me with listing information. My personal brag is that I feel like I've really mastered vacant land marketing. I can sell pretty much any piece of land in 30 days or less on the internet.

NOW I'm ready to dive into a new world, and looking into owning multifamily. Here's to new knowledge!

I'm very late to the game - but just wanted to say that I love your energy! Mentorship can take you very far, and I think you're on the right track. Keep it up!

I quit my full-time job making $150k/year to do land. I told myself that once I hit $5k/month on land I was going to quit and see what I could do if I did it full-time... $5,000 came and went pretty quickly. Haven't looked back!

Honestly, yes. Even with just a few things to keep track of, it's easy for things to get lost or confused. Even with a PM, you need a CRM. You don't necessarily need a really built out one though - even just using an AirTable base (there are a lot of free templates out there) would probably give you what you need to stay organized.
