ListSource Absentee Owner Screen

Kyle B.

So I have spent the last several days searching through numerous posts on BP to refine my criteria for an absentee owner list. The criteria I am using, which I am basing off recommendations from members on this site consists of:

- Equity: 40%-100%
- Property Type: SFR
- Bedrooms: At least 3
- Absentee Owner
- Exclude Corporate
- Exclude Trustee
- Last Market Sale Date: Pre 2006

From this list, my screen is yielding only 119 addresses (with my selected area yielding about 130,000 addresses before adding any additional criteria). This is my first time using ListSource, but even so, this seems like a small amount of results compared to what I've read other people coming up with. In particular, adding the "Last Market Sale Date" reduced the list from about 820 to 119.

For those experienced with obtaining these lists, do these results sound typical or am I missing something? Also, thanks to everyone who has given me advice on this in the last several days.
