Tired Landlords and expired listings

Where do I find expired listings if the agent is not willing provide those listings? What would you say is the best place to find tired landlords that are motivated to either sell their property cheap for cash or sell the home to rent to own buyers?

@Tony Marcelle If your looking for tired landlords you should pull the fresh eviction filings for Jefferson county. This gives you a chance to reach landlords currently going through all of the hassles and headaches of evicting someone. They are incurring expenses and in many cases damages/repairs regarding the property. Contacting these homeowners while the eviction is still in progress is a great time to reach them at their most frustrating moments. And, you'll find that some will be burned out and will be interested in hearing what you have to offer.

You might also want to consider looking into the 311 database, specifically the complaints reflecting homes with trashed yards, junk vehicles and other nuisances. I've found in other areas that with code violations about 25% to 30% of the owners don't reside at the property. In these cases the property could be vacant or they could have a renter trashing their property. Kind of like driving for dollars but you don't have to waste time and gas. Good luck!
