How to have Virtual Assistant Find Tax Delinquent Properties

[Dalton Dellinger]

Hello BP! I am not sure in which category to put this post. I hired a virtual assistant after rereading the four hour workweek. At my W-2 job I make over 6 figures a year so I figured it would be a great use of my time to have my VA help me locate off market properties. I think I would like his team to look for tax delinquent properties.

Should I have him go through Google Street View and "drive" down the streets of my town and then look the properties up on our Assessor's page to see if the properties are delinquent?

I realize that I could just buy a list, but I am already paying for the assistant and don't want to get rid of him. I would like to transition him into doing more real estate type activities for me.

@Dalton Dellinger I agree with @Account Closed. We have mailed and cold called delinquent tax property owners in the past and not had the best results. I would focus on absentee long term owners in rental heavy (C Class) areas. These are the owners we have sourced the vast majority of our deals from.
