Out of curiosity — what paid skip tracing tools are you using during the due diligence phase when buying notes?
One of the most powerful tools I've seen is Forewarn, which is available free-of-charge to realtors to verify and screen prospects before meeting them in person. It’s incredibly robust and accurate — but unfortunately, its terms of use limit it to that safety purpose only.
I’m now looking for a comparable tool for the notes side of my business.
Forewarn provides:
- phone numbers (historical + most recent — usually very accurate)
- addresses (same — full history with last known address almost always spot-on)
- court records (bankruptcies, foreclosures, liens, driving violations, etc.)
- property ownership
- vehicle registrations
Has anyone found a skip tracing platform that’s similarly accurate and comprehensive — something suitable for note due diligence rather than agent safety checks?
Appreciate any recommendations or insights!
BTW.... I may post a similar question for credit report providers, but I'm only focusing on skip tracing for now.
