Not too low either, you don't want to go with someone who is just focused on price as this is a quality of a not-so-great accountant.

The reason they can give free skip trace data is because it's such dated and poor quality they are getting it at little to no cost.  

Passive real estate investing comes with its own challenges of course, most notably finding quality syndicators and the high minimum investment (typically $50-100K if you invest by yourself).

@Allen Berrebbi I use FreedomSkips.com same high quality data as Batch, NeedtoSkip, and SkipGenie without the high prices.

Being a builder, my first thought goes to the construction type items: Tile or wood floors, vinyl shower kits, high quality wall paint like Behr Marquis, solid wood furniture, good appliances not cheap rental ones, easy to maintain yard outside like DG, artificial turf and gravel. 

Of course if you buy a less than good quality property, capex will exceed cash flow.

The highest form, a 'quality cost segregation study' must be performed by someone with experience.

My suggestion is invest in quality education that helps you build your skill set then go all in.

The triplex technically still has cashflow at the moment so I think I would be aggressive on the duplex then look at cash for keys in the triplex and get that done in one fell swoop. 3) Renting and Managing - While not the most expensive areas overall, there is demand in these areas from people paying at or above the top range I listed for high quality units.

We carefully select our base price after looking at comparable properties, neighborhood data, data from previous years, and, of course, considering the condition and quality of the home.2.
