I have two different method for finding vacant homes. I sometimes ask counties and cities for it and the other method I will not mention here.
I would then get the rest of the information from other county databases and I would have all the data in one place. This is sometimes good and sometimes bad. The bad part is that I have way, I mean way tooo much data. The next thing to do is skip trace which is pretty simple at times.
I don't know of a "Batch Skip Tracing's vacant homes list". Is this all in one product or something?
I'm about to pull some from them. Been using them for skip tracing only but gonna give some of their lists a try. I'll post back in here in a month or two and let you know if its legit or not. Feel like it is because their skip tracing data is really good.
@Christopher Edwards A list of vacant homes are tough to find because current occupancy isn't part of the public record. They are included with the Absentee Owners but not specifically identified as vacant.
I'd suggest working with a list broker to find a mix of lists for your area so you aren't mailing to only the same people all the other investors are mailing to.
A list broker will also be able to help add phone numbers and even some emails to a list you already have or get from them. They won't have the data for every owner, but a good percentage to help you get going.
@Account Closed Batch Skip Trace just started the service and I was curious about it. I’d love to talk to you about your other method of finding homes in a call if you’re open to it.
@Will Clark appreciate you being willing to share.
@May Emery would you recommend a list broker? Are you talking about a company like listsource?
@Christopher Edwards Listsource is a do-it-yourself online company. A list broker is a person you can work with for recommendations. I'll send you a PM with suggestions.
@Account Closed - Batch Skip Trace is a term used for adding phone numbers and email addresses to a list that you have - or a new one that you obtain from the list broker doing the list.
