Personally, I'd start looking in markets you're familiar with, similar to what you said in your post.

Do you think using lexisnexis would work for skiptracing to find a person's phone number?

I personally don't know of their group but figured id link that article since i remember reading it and the name clicked. 

Personally I'm working on a very exciting niche, but will take some time to pull together; and I'll give you more details as it moves ahead. 

Do you have personal experience with these?

I'm a passive investor and these properties are in a different state than I reside in so I'm not there in person often. 

I 100% agree with the intent aspect and that is an important premise, but the fact is in this particular situation intent for it to be personal use has been confirmed (by way of a public post).

I was the first person to partner with them. 

@Shawn Questa I agree with you that there could be some opportunity here, but personally, with that little equity in the property, I'd wait for the pre-foreclosure process to start and  perhaps you can do a short sale (though I don't know the details on how that's handled in TX).

They will schedule an inspection to verify that the second bedroom does in fact exist in the apartment.I am not sure, I believe it’s because this apartment is only being rented by one person on the lease.
