If the owner hasn't passed away, you can try skip tracing them through some free sources such as skipease or free people search. 

The owners are hard to find but I am good at skip searching, finding, and contacting lost owners.

I run the NM Real Estate Mastermind Group and the Apartment Investor Breakfast Club.

Hi, I would like to hear your experience with the best skip tracing companies, I am looking between reiskip.com  (24 cents per skip) and needtoskip.com (35 Cents per skip).

I believe we've met at the Multi-family investors breakfast.

To me, this looks like a restaurant with booths along the windows and BIG breakfast omelets with lots of flavorful cheese and sauteed veggies and good coffee.

The downside to option 2 is that it doesn't really fit well with breakfast.

An ugly deal is something you lose more than money, you lose your will to keep going; maybe you get sued, maybe you buy a house at an auction with a mortgage on it, maybe you skip getting insurance to save money and the place burns down, etc. 

We represent a few small-balance commercial lenders that skip the tax returns and just use the current rent roll (DSCR) to support the loan.

Then shower, meditate (30% of the time), breakfast, work, then lift at 11am (40% of the time), lunch, nap if workout that day, work or other things as needed until sleep.
