[Mike Schorah]

Looking to cold call (pickup or voicemail) 750 houses a week on a tight budget (roughly $500 initially, $250/month) with a tight timeframe (2 hours per day) starting Monday. Want to use today through Sunday to build this list with at least 1,000 names by Monday.

Please Rank the Following Types of Lists for Distressed Properties from Best to Worst

• Driving For Dollars
• Online List: Properties with Delinquent Taxes
• Online List: Properties with Delinquent Mortgage Payments
• Online List: Properties That Legally Must Be Sold Through Bankruptcy
• Online List: Properties That Legally Must Be Sold Through Divorce
• Online List: Properties Being Sold Out of Probate
• Online List: REO/Bank-Owned Properties
• Online List: Government-Owned Residential Properties
• Online List: Absentee Owners
• Online List: For Sale By Owner

If you are looking for distressed properties you might also want to consider adding code violations to your list. Your local code enforcement department is already identifying distressed properties for you without the need for driving for dollars. Depending on where your market is they may have the violations available online. Good luck!
