If I continue to get no response from the listing agent, would it be problematic to skip trace the home owner and contact them directly?

@Ferrode Joseph cashflow vs appreciation is really a function of the Property Class you target.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

The cost is $1,000 and I don't want to join only to find I need a huge direct mail budget to reach note holders. 

To reiterate above, the variable rate is not the issue, it's the attempt at new terms with punishment attached if not accepted.FWIW, if I recall correctly from 5 years ago, my loan officer casually mentioned that the loan will be "in-house" which I understood him to mean is not a federally backed loan and they are lending directly, but I didn't ask for clarification.Maybe my loan address was included by mistake for this mailing because of that categorization, but still, gahh.

You can close directly in the entity.
