Hey @Ryan Overcash!

There are a ton of skip tracing services out there! Fiverr is one option, although you do have to make sure the people you work with are reliable and consistent.

There may be some serives that will let you just submit names, but if they do, I would question their results. In order for you to have the most accurate results you should have the name and mailing address of the person you want to skip. This allows for the skip tracer to use a true accurate list to get you the best results.

Most of the larger names all use the same data and automate your results so it would be a matter of pricing and features that stand out to you. Most of them will have less than optimal results when it comes to mobile home parks, commercial, LLCs and trust because that is a double skip tracing process that their automation can't process. These require more of a personal interaction and deeper digging that involves websites like OpenCorporates or the Secretary of State websites.

There are some skip tracers that can do this. If you would like a referral code or more information please let me know.

Good luck!

Besides going to networking events, there are websites like Propstream that can provide you with lead lists to get you started.

Lead lists are the fastest way to go, as long as you know your lists and the demographics you're reaching out to. 

Once you get the lists, you can use skip tracing tools, like previously mentioned, to get contact information for your leads. You can make phone calls yourself - or you can outsource this on websites like fiverr or Upwork.

Getting on social media groups can be a huge asset as well! Get connected with your local REI community and see what events the professionals in your area are going to.

Good luck, you got this!

Quote from @Abraham S.:

I tried a couple of skip tracing services and the results are awful. I understand that I cant expect to get the quality of TLO, but are there any service that is at least as good as truepeoplesearch? I would appreciate your response.

Thank you


I actually just did a video about this this morning. 

Most of the services on this list all do the same thing - tell a program to go check the same 2 or 3 databases and return data. There is no actual quality behind what they do. If you want high quality results you need to find a solution where they are actually digging into your lists and the results they provide - not just pinging it against a database.

Gotcha, high quality leads are important for sure. A buddy of mine had this same problem when he started getting back into real estate three or so years ago, so we created Best Skip Tracer together to fix it.

Your problem is why we're one of the only if not the sole company to have real people hand-scrub our lists, instead of just checking them against a data base. 

Let me know if you have any more questions! I'm happy to help, even if what you're looking for specifically doesn't exist (just yet).

You can use True People Search (https://www.truepeoplesearch.c...). They're free, have been around for a long time and they have pretty accurate info.
