He might be annoying, but he 100% is not the type to destroy my unit or skip out on rent.

Since I last posted we now have seller lead service, skip tracing, API integration for direct mail and a mobile app for managing your business on the go.

I've researched property data aggregation and skip tracing sites, but am moreso focused on finding cash buyers/investors.

In regards to skip tracing, find and use a company that has flexible pricing options, volume discounts or discount memberships; this will keep your cost of skip tracing down.

then you're on the right track in understanding how hard it is.The second thing is that you can skip all the headaches of becoming a landlord and still get the cash flow, appreciation, and tax benefits by investing in passive real estate syndications.

It's still worth noting as well that just because you're friends with someone doesn't mean you should skip out on any contracts or paperwork either to keep everyone happy and protected 

you could look for opportunities with reverse mortgages in default (backwards marketing) and tax defaulted property (the last group can be difficult to sift and sort due to large quantities).In the end, you’ll do much better focusing on solving problems that others cannot or are not willing to solve (hoarding, squatters, liquidity, defective title, skips, etc.).BTW, I started with working foreclosures (1978) and then deceased owner and title-impaired property about (35) years ago and have closed several thousand deals to date.  

Thank you for reminding me to skip the flashy stuff and focus on the return.

On top of that these people have to take off work, skip jobs, they are already floating the cost of a lot of work, now they have to float the cost of the lawyer/court costs - it's generally not beneficial to either party.

He paid a month, skipped payment a month, paid for a month and a half (one month being the unpaid month), negotiated payment for upcoming months, lied about what he said he'd do, made a partial payment, promised to pay unpaid rent, then ultimately skipped out without paying for multiple months of rent.
