Hello everyone! I just reached Level 3 and have a quick question. I’m looking for a new platform for skip tracing. I’ve been using Kind Skip Trace, and it’s been good, but it’s getting expensive. I know Xleads provides unlimited skip tracing what are your thoughts on the accuracy of their phone numbers? Or do you have any other recommendations? Appreciate you!

As a systems guy I always wanted a blueprint for everything. What I’ve learned is that in most cases, you just gotta face the work and hold it down. Learn on the go until you get the job done. That’s the universal formula. Action!

Most people overcomplicate this. But today I’m going to show you how to pull one of the BEST lists in real estate—Code Violations—straight from your county or city’s records in just a few steps. Here’s how it works: 🔥 Why County Lists? They’re public records. That means they’re free, and they come straight from the source—city or county governments. These lists are gold for wholesalers looking for motivated sellers. 🔍 Step 1: Pick Your Target Area Choose a city (for things like Code Violations or Water Shutoffs) or a county (for things like Probates or Pre-Foreclosures). Example: Plano, Texas. 🖥️ Step 2: Google This Type: 👉 [City Name] Code Enforcement 👉 [City Name] Open Records Request 👉 [City Name] FOIA Request Look for a government website link—usually a .gov or .org—and click it. 📝 Step 3: Locate the Records Request Form Most cities/counties have a section to submit a public records request online. If not, they’ll list an email or contact person. You’re looking for forms titled like: Open Records Request Submit FOIA Request Public Info Request 📬 Step 4: Fill Out the Request You’ll often need to create an account. Some cities allow anonymous requests, but many require your name, phone number, or email. 🧠 Pro Tip: Be Professional Instead of saying “Send me the code violations,” use a message like: “Hi, I’m requesting a list of all open code violations for residential properties in [City Name] over the last 30 days, specifically related to tall grass, junk, debris, and substandard conditions. Thank you!” Don’t worry—I made you a plug-and-play template below👇 https://docs.google.com/document/d/18-veCbRoDtMkkuA9cjFI-yFC_E-kQObtTMBxVuNLH9E/edit?tab=t.0 ✅ Step 5: Submit + Track Submit your request. You’ll usually get an email confirmation, and within a few business days (sometimes 24 hrs), they’ll send the list in Excel or CSV format. If you don’t get it, follow up.

Finally reached level 3🙌 super excited to connect with you all. Anyone in the Texas market?
