Understanding skip trace ROI
Skip tracing is a cost of doing business in wholesaling and disposition. The question is not whether to skip trace, but how to optimize your spend. The three variables you can control are: who you trace (prioritize high-probability investors), the quality of your provider (better hit rates), and your outreach effectiveness (higher response rates).
A typical wholesaler tracing 100 investors per deal at $0.10/trace spends $10 per deal on tracing. If that produces even one additional closed deal per year, the ROI is enormous. The key is not over-tracing low-priority contacts. Use investor ranking to trace the top 30-50 prospects first. For more on this strategy, see our skip tracing guide.
