Investor owner list. Best way to obtain??

Question

Hi fellow investors,

Does anyone know the best way to obtain an investor mailing list in a particular area? I am specifically looking for an area within 20 miles of Central Illinois (Bloomington-Normal).  I have tried MelissaData, but it did not return the results we wanted.  Would a local title company have this information?  Help please!

Account Closed, I have used ListSource to pull lists here in Decatur a handful of times. It does costs per item but if you call them to set up your account and tell them you are a investor, you should get significantly better pricing than you will if you just create your account online (at least I did, but that was several years ago).

It does take a little bit to get good at refining your search criteria but you'll get the hang of it is you play around with it and could probably find some posts or forums about how to best use it. I learned about how refine my search criteria down to exactly what I was looking for thru several wholesaling podcasts several years ago.

Hi @Michael Dowd,

Since it looks like your an agent go into your local tax DB (REALIST from Core logic does ours, not sure about the rest of the country).

Choose a custom list, Owner occupied = No, Include Mailing address, owner name, owner address, donot mail does not equal yes. Put that info into Excel and remove unique records so you don't send one for each property to the same owner.

Good Luck
