How to use MLS to find absentee homeowners???

[Jason K.]

Someone that uses MLS to locate absentee homeowners please show me how to do this! I'll have some free time over the next few days and would like to try to save a little by finding some myself. Thanks in advance.

Besides MLS, I'm also trying to figure out how to sort records from the appraisal district. I'm pretty sure there isnt a downloadable records link..(in Houston, hcad.org)

I'd love to find a cheaper way, but we use Listsource.com to get our list of AOs - our county website isn't set up for searches like this. I think the last list we ran cost about $60 for 500 names.
