When I first started using it, I created test profiles on the tenant and landlord sides to experience both ends of the platform.

In my area there are people like myself that will take pictures, do virtual tour with facetime or other platform, talk to people, do research on property and other tasks needed for relatively low price.

Not sure if he underbid the job or made a bad business decision or gambled ot away.

Vacant commercial properties are a gamble for lenders.

At our new beach sleep two condo, we successfully "transferred" 95% of the great rate paying guests, taking them off-platform.

What skip tracing techniques/platforms or other avenues do you use to find the true owner of a property?

I would suggest working with a mentor that can help walk you through the process and create a thought leadership platform.

Put out a lot of quality content and then pay the platforms to show it to users. 

It is an absolute nightmare with the influx of inquiries to have to deal with a totally separate platform of communication and then makes it a royal pain in the arse to keep track of scheduling.2.  

I would recommend starting a thought leadership platform.
