Hey BP!
I have access to an assistant who can search our local court house records. For those who have had success with this, what/who did you target? My thoughts were to target probate, divorce, and evictions. Any one have success with these?
Also, I am wondering if I can access these same leads via a third party source and use the assistant to search for harder to come by, but perhaps, more quality leads??
Yo @Michael Baradell Good to talk to another Lousiana investor. Back in the day when I use to hunt down leads, I would head to the court house just to look up owners of properties that were vacated. Then I would leave a note on the door, and possibly send out a letter to about purchasing the property. Done right you can have good success with this, and to make it more effective think to get a website to educate them more on who you are and what you do.

@Antonio Coleman Hello, I like your comment on this post I just have one question. What do you mean by the following,"Done right you can have good success with this," is there a wrong way to do this or to market to sellers for these type of leads?
@Shawn C. I will say you can't come off being pushy because that will turn people off. You have to understand people love their property and for whatever reason, they don't really want to sell it. My letters should be in the helping form versus thief in the night form. If you're willing to help educate them then getting that property in your portfolio will be a lot easier.
@Antonio Coleman I understand now, I was thinking you were going in a different direction for some reason. Thank you for responding and clarifying for me.
In our counties online prothonotary database we can see when the banks first file in the courts to begin the foreclosure process. They call it "complaint in mortgage foreclosure". I'm thinking about targeting this list myself.
