Have you had any experiences with either of these companies?

As far as a company to use for skip tracing, find one that has flexible pricing and no high-volume minimums if you're just starting out.

Let me start by saying I have hired a CPA, and have a future meeting set up. 

Just for some background info......the only reason I started and own Skip Genie now is because I specialized in highly distressed vacant properties and learned the ins and outs of how to efficiently find and contact the owners/heirs and then be able to close on them.  

I personally invest in Sacramento, mostly equity plays on buy and hold rentals, but am starting to flip properties again.

I figure if a company as big as american homes is using it, liability isnt an issue.

Hello,I’m a new college who made a goal to buy my first rental property by the time i’m 25 (which would be in 2 years) and am starting my career as a commercial real estate broker in Grand Rapids, MI.

I would start here to see that people are coming to the area and not be as worried with why.I'd also confirm what you need to operate legally such as any permit requirements.

When they start getting legal stuff to fill out exposing all of their dirty laundry, they will freak.

Seems like everyday a new $500 mil finance company is relocating here.
