Find vacant homes now
Does any one know anything about Kent Clothier's new software designed to find vacant homes?
I have not found any information or reviews on the internet. I would like to know if it is worth the $995.
Thanks.
Leo

I have apprehensions because any system that is made super easy and highly accessible to the general public has the potential to become over-saturated very quickly. As an example, on this program you can target high equity vacant homes and mail the letters with just a credit card and a few mouse clicks. Great right? But how many other people are on their laptop with a credit card doing the same thing? How many other people think this is so great and they're right beside you mailing the same addresses with the same letters? Nobody is able to scrub their list to filter out duplicate addresses, that is, addresses that others in the system have or are about to mail to. It would be fantastic if Kent had incorporated this scrubbing into the system, but no such luck. And, of course, that would cut down on the profits that are being generated from the mailers.
In this business the more work you have to do to get the leads the less competition there is, which equals a higher response and more high-quality deals. Conversely, the easier it is to get the leads the more competition moves in and the effectiveness of that strategy dwindles. The real deals in this program may very well be found in skip tracing the owners of the returned mail. That's additional work, and more work means most others won't do it.
