You pulled a fire list. Absentee owners. Tax delinquent. Probate records.
Now what?
If you don't have phone numbers, you have nothing. That's where skip tracing comes in β and most new wholesalers skip it entirely.
Skip tracing is how you turn a property address into a live phone call. No contact = no conversation. No conversation = no deal.
Here's how to skip trace like a pro:
1οΈβ£ Use BatchSkipTracing or PropStream β Upload your list, get phone numbers back in minutes. BatchSkipTracing runs ~$0.18/record. Cheapest cost of entry in this business.
2οΈβ£ Pull MULTIPLE numbers β Every skip trace returns 2β4 numbers per owner. Call ALL of them. Don't stop at the first no-answer.
3οΈβ£ Stack your list BEFORE you trace β Don't go record by record. Build your full list first, then batch upload. Saves time and money.
4οΈβ£ Re-trace bad numbers β If a number is dead, try TruePeopleSearch or BeenVerified as backup. Never assume one miss means they're unreachable.
5οΈβ£ Log everything in a CRM β Every number, every call outcome, every follow-up date. The money is in the follow-up β not the first dial.
Your action TODAY: Take your last untouched list. Upload it to BatchSkipTracing right now. $20 could unlock your next $10K deal.
