Getting list of properties sold twice in 18 months

[Lance Johnson]

Hey guys!  I'm glad to be on the forum!

I'm a web developer, trying to figure out the best source to find properties in say, Virginia that have been sold twice in the last 18-months, with the idea being to find flippers and contact them.

Any ideas on publically available data sources?

Thank you!

You could reverse engineer the county assessor site API (through inspecting network traffic), then iterate through all possible parcel numbers, storing the results and their data in a database. You could then query the database as you wish... HOWEVER, most counties provide this database as a large downloadable file that is updated quarterly to yearly. That is the preferred method.
