Hey Derrick, it is definitely a struggle. I used to use Batch Skip and they were okay - just really expensive. I have an in-house data guy that pulls lists and skip traces for me. Skip tracing is 12c per record and the list pulling runs me 2.5c per record. Totally worth it compared to some of the bigger companies. I can share his contact with you if you want - just shoot me a PM

Hey Lisa, sorry to hear your struggles. While some courses are okay, I would say stay away from courses and instead get hooked up with someone in your market who wholesales or at least finds their own deals to flip / develop on. I personally don't use direct mail, but I hear it takes a pretty large budget to do it successfully. I would definitely look at cold calling or texting as a better option. Also, if you're looking for more affordable lists and/or skip tracing, I can help. I have an in-house data guy that pulls all of my lists and skip traces them. We recently started offering it out to other investors after seeing the struggle of finding good data that isn't crazy expensive. Feel free to reach out with anything I can help with. I have a soft spot for beginners because I was there not too long ago. Also land development and acquisition is the biggest part of my business so feel free to pick my brain. Cheers!

I've heard really bad things about mojo skip tracing actually. It's going to be hard to find anything decent as far as data goes for that cheap. I've got a data guy in-house that runs all my skips through his algorithm and runs about 10c per record. Feel free to DM if you want to run some of your records through our algorithm - doesn't hurt me at all and let's my data guy make some extra money so I'm all for it.

If you're looking for a bigger company with direct credit data then I would suggest Sherpa, SkipGenie, or Batch - these are going to run 15-20c/record. I've used these companies before and they're good as well!

I've got a guy in-house that does all my data for me. Runs about 10c per record and really good results. Feel free to connect if you want us to run any of your skips through our system as well.

Post: Skip trace + DNC Scrubbing

Hey guys, I think you may be over estimating skip tracing in general. Even the top batch services like Batchskip and REIskip use credit data which has 'suggested / probable' numbers. TLO is super expensive for individual searches and is still only 50-70% accurate. There is no service that can get you the right number every time. And, when you put that into a calling system, still only expect an 8-12% response rate unless you have a small niche list. I have an in-house skip tracer and we run about 89-92% similarity to Batchskip and REIskip and it only costs us 8-10c per record. If anyone wants to give our algorithm a go, feel free to reach out. My business isn't a skip tracing business and not trying to make a lot of money from it, but I would be happy to help if you're having trouble with other services!

Also, for the DNC - sign up for a DNC SANS account and you get two counties DNC list for free I think! Once you have that you can easily scrub against DNC in the spreadsheet or just add them to the DNC in your dialer / texter so you don't ever have to scrub again. Hope this helps.

Kathy, I have some agents that run their records through my in-house skip tracer at my company. We aren't a skip tracing company, but I got tired of outsourcing skip tracing because everything was expensive. We can skip trace for 10-12c per record so feel free to connect if you want to run your records through our system!

Never used Mojo skip tracing, but I haven't heard great things about it. I would stick to BatchSkip if you're looking for the best premium data. It is a little pricey though - I think its 18 cents a lead. I have an in-house skip tracer for my company, so if you're struggling finding good data, we would be happy to run your leads through our system. Can get it done for around 10-12c per record. Feel free to DM me if you want to run your records through our system!

Hey Taylor. Don't use DM's skip tracing. The app is very useful but its skip tracing is sub par in my opinion. I have an in-house skip tracer for my wholesale business. I would gladly run your records through our system for less than whatever DM is charging you. We love to add value whenever we can! Feel free to connect / DM if you wanna give it a shot!
