manually building a mailing list at the court house
I recently purchased a list from listsource.com of absentee owners and so far I am unhappy with my response. I had several (16 out of 439)callers but none of them were motivated. I know that I need to continue to mail to this list and I plan to do so.
I asked the members of BP to help with my mailer and many people suggested that I should build my own list.
I've read of people going to the county court house (County Records Bldg) and looking for leads on back taxes, code violations, and probate leads.
I plan to spend my entire Wednesday at the court house digging through records and asking the workers for leads and/or ideas. My plan is to make friends with someone there and offer them lunch for their advice and/or help. This will all be new to me so I wanted to ask the BP Nation for a little guidance.
Does anyone from BP have any suggestions on how to locate leads at the court house efficiently? Or tips on what I should be looking for when searching through records?
Thanks in advance!
