Finding Names of Owners BEFORE Tax Foreclosure

[Mission Flegg]

Newbie here.

I am interested in finding lists of CURRENT property owners who are delinquent on their taxes.  (Not interested in lists of properties that have already been forecolsed on for tax sales.)

Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Core Logic ( First American Title )does custom tax defaulted lists for mailing in 3500 counties in the county.  But its expensive.

We do this for a living so here is my advice:

1) Get a good tax roll list from the county or from Core Logic which contains mailer info.

2) Get a tax sale list directly from the county.  Only APNs are needed.

3) Make sure the APN scheme is exactly the same (this is imperative)

Run a duplicate program in Excel, Access (I've written a program that automates this process.  Ask me if you need it). 

This process is just enough work to keep everyone out of this business.

When you are done you will have a perfect tax defaulted list.  Send them offers (not colored letters or post cards) that say something like this.  I will solve this problem for you for $100.00.  I will make it all go away for you.  Where should I send the check?

You will get between a 5 - 25% response (5-25 responses for every 100 letters you send out).

MY ADVICE: Learn (and love) to process data and you will make millions in real estate.

There are 26,387,452+ tax defaulted properties in the US at the moment.

If you are using unrelated third parties to send out mailers at any step of the way(except printing & stuffing), you are kicking the can down the road.  It's the difference between the men and the boys for real estate acquisitions.

The learning curve is rough up front, but it will become your career if you want it to be.
