🔍💡Before You Skip Trace — Do This First!

Skip tracing is powerful — but too many wholesalers jump straight to paying for data before exhausting the free game.

Here’s a smarter approach 👇🏽

💻 Step 1: Google the owner’s full name + city

You’d be surprised how often old directories, business listings, or even court filings show up with contact info.

🔎 Step 2: Check TruePeopleSearch.com (free)

Plug in their name or address — often you’ll get a list of relatives and past numbers too. It’s fast and free.

📫 Step 3: Check Facebook or LinkedIn

Search their name and filter by city.

If they’re older, you might find their kid or spouse

-DM them respectfully.

🏛️ Step 4: Look up their name in the County Appraisal District or Property Records

Sometimes they have a mailing address that’s different from the property. That’s where your letter or call should go.

📞 Step 5: Cross-reference the mailing address in WhitePages.com

Another chance to snag a number before you buy a list.
