Some tasks that you could ask a VA to complete in reference to REI would be,  mass cold calling, creating a direct mail merge, scraping FSBO sites, managing Craigslist ads, skip tracing leads, finding frustrated landlords, and scraping county tax records.

@Carl Whitfield use the HCAD website for the tax records in case the lot is in Harris County.I recently used a skip tracing website to get the phone number and contact info of an owner and It worked good.

But I didn't sell SFRs, I had a leg up on most agents (as I can articulate highly complex ideas) and my niche is still completely open and untapped.If I were to do it again, I would have skipped brokering, and been a principal from the get go.

Now there’s two separate payments due from the tenant from which they can select only the rent and skip the late fee.

Pull the list, skip trace owners.

I'll skip all the 'you should haves' because well, 'should' is a word based on insanity (too late to should) - and recommend that you convert your building for occupancy by Section 8 tenants who are screened and have some employment (so they're not just hanging at the property all day). 

Buy something that will actually make moneyIf this is too much work or doesn't fit you, then I would skip to #5 and sell that property.

Would using a company that specializes in skip tracing help me find a solution to my problem?

Then I skip down to line 31 and see that they've got $13 million in noncurrent loans - not a huge number compared to their total balance sheet, but if it were a small community bank that would indicate they may have a bunch of properties on hand from defaulted mortgages, i.e.

We skipped the paid inspector but we looked it over pretty close and set our budget.
