Targeted List Source
I'm trying to figure out how to find lists of abandoned (non-bank owned) properties where the utilities have been shut off for 60+ days.
I don't want HUD or REO homes. I'm willing to skip trace the owners. Typically, I find these by driving neighborhoods, but I was hoping to find an easier way.
Anyone have some insight on this?

Why don't you think through what the common elements are and compile your own list? Generally speaking, I haven't ever seen a commercially available list of "abandoned" houses that would make you any money. So, that leaves creating your own.
How many different ways are vacant, abandoned properties created? Can you list them here?
