Hey guys I have been reading through posts on here about skip tracing and I have yet to see someone definitively recommend a skip tracing service, or say who to stay away from.

A station will be opened at Stockton/Washington with service starting in 2019 so expect the demand of property within walking distance of that station to appreciate in the following years.

Probably the only sellers that would sell this way would be those who have very distressed homes, so I look at these services as more of a wholesaler with marketing on steroids because of their wide reach. 

AND with an additional caveat: the PROVABLE cash flow from the property must service the debt with a cushion of at least 20 -25%, so a debt service coverage ratio of 1.2 - 1.25.That being said, the 'gap' can, in some cases, be filled by seller carrying back a second lien. 

If it helps, I have found that on average 1 in 40 properties has unpaid tax bill within 3 months of the tax bill due date.I also provide email append, phone append, and demographic append services for the collected data, and if available by the county deed/mortgage information.

I am Michael with Alpha Services and I am feeling my way around the site prior to joining.   

You can start working with your bank and compare their services with other lenders. 

I’m thinking of purchasing rentals in Scranton, PA, but have had a hard time getting an owner on the horn to talk about services, pricing, and my expectations.

I’d be more concerned the pocket doors are not up for abuses, and that they are harder to service.

So I'm going to attempt Cash for Keys with a mobile notary service present.
