Wholesaling Lists: Shutoff Water Service from Fairfax Water

Member since 2020 · 23 posts · 5 votes

Hi BP Family,

Has anyone had success in getting a list of properties with their water cutoff for the past 6 months? This was mentioned in the BP Real Estate Podcast Episode 332 with Adam Johnson and Brent Moreno. I reached out and they said that they do not share this information with the public.

Thank you,

Tom

Great question. I assume your looking for those houses that are in distress. One way you can do this is to look at the tax records online, and it can tell you which houses are behind on their taxes. Not sure about D.C. but in Fairfax it shows.

Fairfax water will not provide you with that info and I am not sure they ever did.

Went off a BP podcast suggestion, and always good to trust but verify.

We used to request this list as well in the past; however, some cities will no longer give you verbose information as in give you the specific home address. You may have to request for the persons' full name, and then join that information to the county appraisal data to tie it with the property address.
Here's a list we compiled a while back with some cities/contact # to obtain the water shutoff list
