Nor any skip trace agency who will guarantee correct address. (7) We have not been able to find any collection agencies that take case of a private landlord to collect on contingency basis.

Also, in regards to a per diem, I'd like to be a bit more optimistic that I can establish the right checks and balances to ensure that the contractor is not skipping corners.

Focus on absentee owners and start with the ones who live the farthest away and only own one property in the area since they have the least use for the property.You can also drive for dollars, looking for anomalies of disrepair and then look them up in the tax records and use a site like Spokeo to do cheap skip tracing.

While you may always have a skip, early termination, or eviction, spreading out the lease-end dates can help avoid having all units vacant at once.

And start the tedious process of building those relationships.Or you could skip all that and find a mentor that also has the community of likeminded people.It will take you less time but is likely going to require an up front investment.Btw have you done a deal yet or would this be your first?

For the rest, I scraped together savings and maybe skipped a few Starbucks runs (okay, a lot).

Most automated systems skip over numbers that have had STOP texted to it.

IT's pretty much a lost cause but if nothing else it will let the next Landlord know the skipped out on you. 

There are several options for skip tracing to find phone numbers and email addresses.
