two different animals all together- trailer parks are tricky to finance, i have gotten a few done but it was ridiculous. so ill skip that one for now.

I managed to find the name and address of property owners but struggle to find their phone or email.Has anyone found tools or skip tracing services to solve that challenge?

Now, I know it makes way more sense to just buy an existing house that has a decent amount of land and just skip the part where I need to put 20%-35% down but I already found the most gorgeous property that would be absolutely perfect except that there's no house.

@Mike Dawson Have you tried skip tracing the owner and cold calling them?

I personally skip trace my leads. 

Been listening to the podcast a ton and figured I would give the forums a whirl.  Background: I own a separate, successful business and I am looking to diversify and also get some tax benefits from rentals. I grew up ...

Bring lease etcIF YOUR LEASE HAS NO WAIVER TO QUIT clau. ..I would skip the court (I actually normally take the chance anyway if they like took all their stuff) no waiver is a longer process if they left too much stuff to make it clear...go to court for nonpayment,next time, file the 3red day after first month is late.

Thirdly, I would skip trace the returned postcards for correct address.

I sometimes wonder if the paint people do that on purpose to sell more paint.So for those who like to skip to the end, the moral of the story is to get samples, put them on the wall and see what they do in multiple lighting scenarios before you spend all the money, and labor, only to hate it (or get sick of it) later!!!

Steve K - If you are going to try and buy REO deals, you may want to consider skipping the buyer's agent method and go straight to the REO list agents.
