looking for advice on pulling owner info (name + mailing address, ideally phone/email too) for off-market properties. I've got a list of addresses I'm interested in but no direct contact info for the owners. What tools/methods are you all using — county assessor sites, skip tracing software, something else? Bonus if it's affordable for someone just getting started. thank you very much!

I've been building my pipeline around off-market leads (absentee owners, code violations, some probate work) and starting to look at auction properties too — specifically the strategy of finding a property scheduled for auction, reaching the owner directly before the sale date, getting it under contract, and then assigning/flipping it before the auction actually happens. A few things I'd genuinely appreciate input on: - How do you all actually work the timing here — how much lead time do you typically need between finding the property and getting a signed contract, to make sure you beat the auction date? - Do you have your end buyer lined up before or after getting the seller under contract? - How do you handle confirming the sale actually gets pulled/cancelled once the underlying debt is paid — any horror stories where that fell through? - For tax auctions specifically vs. mortgage foreclosure auctions — does the strategy/payoff process change much between the two? - Real talk — is this a good place for someone still early to be spending time, or is this more of an "once you've got a few deals under your belt" strategy? I don't want to bite off more than I can chew on my first few deals. Appreciate any real experiences, good or bad. note:sorry you all for asking so much questions at once.

curious what actually gets a reply when you have a deal

Hi all, I've been investing for 8 yrs .... 2 yrs ago, I quit my W2 and went full time investor. Made a ton of mistakes and learn ALOT . Right now we're doing 3-4 deals a month and looking to expand. Looking to network and partner with likeminded individuals who's looking to grow and scale their business. DM if interested! LETS ALL WIN!!!

Hey Flip Fam - Aldo here, run a wholesale/dispo operation out of the Philly metro (Kaizen). Been doing this a few years, mostly single family assignments and some creative finance deals, spending most of my time these days on the ops/systems side (lead flow, buyer matching) rather than door knocking. Land is new territory for me so I've been reading through Ty's parcel-splitting posts closely. Good to be here, looking forward to swapping notes on buyer lists and comping.
