I'd rather skip to the part where they are gone. 

In addition, several online skip trace companies and in some cases private investigators are used in attempts to locate the property owners.

If you want to skip to the head of the class and save a year or two and possibly keep from losing capital and missing opportunities, you go with a coach that does what you want to do.

It's easy to say that I could have skipped it in hindsight, but I would probably go the same route again, because again it was a learning experience.With that being said, you need to realize you'll be paying market values for these homes, which will affect your profit.As far as tips, the biggest one I can give you is to not treat turnkey properties differently than any other property.

People won’t send you deals, if you dont tell them you are looking.I would then pull a list, skip trace the list, and just bang out calls.

Whatever you do, don't skip the lease agreement and collecting a deposit.

If you are easily found on Google ... like ranking #1 with an incredibly awesome website... you will get ALL the leads.No one is going to skip the first result on Google.Also, no one is going to fill in the form on a shady website.So if you rank #1 on Google, you will get ALL the traffic, and if your site is credible, .. no one will rather fill in the form of some other dude tjhat is shady.

Skip those.
