Anyone buying property right now I would recommend the hold be 5 years to break even and 10+ years to see the significant gains.

I haven't done any skip tracing really.. but I you look at all of those sites like been verified, spokeo, etc... you can tell there is a ton of information out there tied to every person, people with the same names in same cities... multiple people tied to different addresses..etc...    

Research the information provided, maybe talk to local experienced investors (someone unbiased not trying to sell you anything). 

This is a long game that requires persistence.Make the money when you buy.

A closing / title company can handle the transaction but may want to get a lawyer to draft the documents.Assuming you are buying in your name and not a LLC - if a LLC then there would need to be additional docs like a authorization for LLC to borrow $ etc

Buy a property that supports multiple exits.

As a sellers agent, you do have significant work to do by putting up the property and doing open houses and talking with buyers agents giving them information.

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

@Gp G.Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.
