Skip tracing for real estate investors

The best deals don’t have a for-sale sign. Find the owner.

Vacant houses, tax-delinquent lots, foreclosures, probate, driving-for-dollars leads. Every one has an owner name and address. Skip Genie gives you their phone numbers, emails, address history, and possible relatives, so you reach them before the next investor’s marketing does.

$9k from one call.
It pays to find the owner.

I used Skip Genie and my first cold call landed me $9k profit on the first number listed the owner answered.

I used Skip Genie to locate the owner of a property which had a house on it and two lots next to it that they owned. The end result was I received the owners name, address and phone number, found the owner and we now have the house and two lots under contract for $78k.

Where the opportunity is

The housing market always has motivated owners. They’re just hard to reach.

These are the signals investors skip trace every day. Each one comes with a name and, usually, no working phone number.

Vacant properties

Overgrown, boarded, or empty, with an owner living somewhere else.

Tax-delinquent

Owners behind on property taxes, often ready for a way out.

Probate and estates

Deceased owners and heirs who inherited a house they don’t want.

Default and foreclosure

Mortgage default and pre-foreclosure, where timing is everything.

The big problem

Everyone is mailing the same list.

Mass direct mail, bandit signs, autodialers, and radio spots are saturated and expensive. Owners tune them out. Skip tracing is the opposite: direct investigation of one owner, one property, one conversation.

Saturated

Mass marketing

Same lists, same postcards, same response rates as every other investor in town.

Targeted

Skip tracing

Find the owner of the property you actually want, and call them directly.

Three prime skip tracing opportunities

Build a list, Buy a list, or Drive for Dollars.

01

Build a list

Pull vacant, absentee, probate, or tax-delinquent records from public sources, then add phones, emails, and possible relatives. Probate leads point to heirs.

02

Buy a list

Purchased lists are often thin on ways to reach the owner. Upload yours to Bulk Search and get current phone numbers and emails back within minutes.

03

Drive for Dollars

Spot the house, search the address in the Tracer, and call the owner from the curb.

I have sent this guy “5 letters and never a response”… In about 10 seconds had 15 number to try. I was shocked when the first number I tried I got the guy, and he wants to make a deal happen. The seller said he just didn’t read anyone’s letter!

This was such a tough deal, but worth every bit of effort. We purchased the property for around $44k paying each heir $4k, sold it for around $62k!

YOUR COMPETITIVE EDGE

The first investor to reach the owner has the advantage.

Skip Genie puts the owner’s phone number, email, and possible relatives in your hands in seconds, while other investors are still searching.

Minutes, not days

It’s automated software, not a person searching by hand. Lists typically return within minutes, depending on size.

More ways to reach them

Mobile and landline numbers, emails, address history, and possible relatives, so one dead end doesn’t stop you.
