Unfortunately I will have to skip this year but is there one every year?

Also cant seem to find the pricing for skip tracing.  

You need the connections or manpower to scour the counties recorders offices for seller carry backs then build a data base of those.. then you have to try to skip trace or other methods to get to the Beneficiary of those notes.

I am having some trouble skip tracing these.

There use depends on the type of trust setup - they can be used to bypass probate; eliminate ownership and control from a person subject to lawsuits; skip a generation on an inheritance and hence skip inheritance taxes, and numerous other uses.  

Never skip your due diligence OR I would charge the biggest deposit allowed in you state. 

The OP if they have that kind of cash should just skip this all together and switch hats and be the LENDER on the deals...

I will also grab a RA in FL to avoid my address but it does appear I should have skipped registering in WY as it doesn't appear to have the same benefits I thought it would.

If I sell any time in the next 3 years I can skip capital gains taxes.

I would strongly advise anyone starting out not to be in a rush to skip steps, but rather to take the time that it takes to save for the first few to learn and pay down "the dumb tax" of figuring out what you don't know.
