ListSource data unreliable to you?

[Nichole Mollica]

Hi all,

I am just reaching out to find out what sources you use to obtain your mailing list info? I have purchased a few list, but the one from ListSource seems to be about 20% owner occ ,when I selected absentee. Is this your experience? Did I do something wrong when ordering?

What sources do you like for lists?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Nichole

Also, I am not sure how Listsource calculate the equity, I believe they use the AVM and loan amount, however, I am not sure how often the update the loan amount and re-caculate the equity.

Fairly certain they reverse amortize to estimate equity. However, just because the property indicates there may be a lot of equity on paper doesn't necessarily mean its reality. For instance, they could have refinanced and pulled the cash out a week ago.

To make things simpler, I just use a rough estimate based on deed date 15+ years back for equity.
