Duplexes with out of town mailing addresses?

Member since 2019 · 24 posts · 5 votes

In the recent podcast with Ben Kinney, Ben suggested looking for duplexes and small multi-families with out of town mailing addresses, e.g., maybe a property that someone inherited and is more likely to want to get rid of. How does one find listings with out of town addresses?

    I don't remember if its that episode or a webinar, but what I do is "drive for dollars". I will drive different routes to work, errands, etc...while driving, I look for properties. I make a note of the addresses that I find interesting and come home and look them up on the internet (county tax office). That's how I find out of state owners.

    If you're looking locally, it's pretty easy.  Just look at areas that are duplex heavy, then go to your county's property tax web site.  For me it's:  http://property.co.fayette.pa.us/search.aspx
