Marketing to Tax Delinquent Properties

[David B.]

Hello BP,

I wanted to see what kind of experience people have had marketing to tax delinquent properties using lists from sites like Listsource/AgentPro VS direct lists from the county.

I understand the list direct from the county will probably be more up to date but is it worth the extra time to obtain it, pay for it, and sort it ? 

Also, how easy are these to get from the county. Do I just call the tax office and tell them I am looking for a list of "Tax Delinquent Properties" and they will know what I am talking about ? 

Are you able to have then separate land, commercial, residential properties when you get the list from the county ?  

Thanks !

David
