Hello there community, in the recent days I have been teasing the idea of house hacking if I decide to move in the future  in SLC ( love skiing and the nature). 

I have made contact with a handful of homeowners, so some of the results are valid & get me to the person I need to connect with - however the borrowers I cannot contact are an issue, as it's a sizeable amount of results I get back that are uncontactable (No skip available, wrong # or out of service).My question to the BP community is - what program/software/company do you guys use for skip tracing?

I'm excited to learn from this community.

Glad to have you as part of this community, Barry! 

There are small communities in Texas where the 3 or 4 small brokerages in town just keep a list between themselves or have created a Facebook group among themselves to promote their listings.I have run across a few Brokers over the years that just worked with buyers in the purchase of HUD/VA foreclosures and were not Realtors and therefore not members of a Board/MLSHowever, in any MLS that I have been involved with if the Broker is a member of the MLS, all of their agents are also required to be members. 

It has helped me a lot, in case you own properties in HOA's communities.

If you are in a good park it might work but your other issue is that many are over 55 communities. 

Hello BP community,I recently became a landlord, quite by accident.

There is usually a missed opportunity in most markets delivering housing products that are needed but not readily available and the Zillow data most rely upon does not tell this story.Get to know the members of a community, their needs, what steers them away from the housing that's currently available.
