Vacant Property Leads - Have You Tried Them Before?

[Alvin Grier]

I've been thinking about adding vacant property leads to our marketing campaigns.

One of my concerns, is that it seems like you'd need to keep buying these frequently, as a house that's vacant this month could very well be occupied this time next month.

With that said...

1. Have you had any success with vacant property leads?

2. What's the best source for vacant property leads, in your opinion?

3. If you've used these leads before, do you have any tips to offer for getting the most out of them?

Go to the city water department and ask them to give you a list of all the properties in the city that have the water turned off.  That's your best and cheapest source for vacant leads.  You might need to cross reference some with the county assessor's website.
