Searching for absentee owners

[Account Closed]

Hello BP! I have a newbie question, what is a great way to search for absentee owners willing to sell their properties?

@Account Closed The most direct way is to buy a list of absentee owners from a site like Listsource or MelissaData. Depending on how they scrape your county websites, you can narrow the list by factors such as in-state vs out-of-state owners, age of home, size of home, etc. In my area, I'm pretty well limited to houses vs condos, zip codes, and in-vs out of state. That being said, I've generally had good results..... when I stick with it.
