Absantee owner criteria

[Adam Jordan]

Hi BP,

I'm a very active investor in the Tampa market and am trying out a thousand or so yellow letters to absentee owners. I plan on either wholesaling or closing and rehabbing myself...prefer the latter. What Criteria would you recommend mailing to?

To follow this up..I plan on sending a basic short yellow letter "I'll buy your house cash." I'm afraid that this might create too much interest from sellers who overvalue their property. Any input on either of these items would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks,

Adam

@Manny Cirino  The quit claim deed idea is genius.  I recently correlated my list of out of state absentee owners against people who owe back property taxes.  I'm also starting to look at people who have filed evictions and I'm going to include them.  The evictions is a little more manual but there are fewer to do each month.

I've also created my own list from my local property appraisors web site.
