Criteria for Absentee Owners List

[Kelly Payne]

I've been talking with my county assessor's office about getting a list of absentee owners.

Their price is $80 for out-of-state owners (it'd be double that to include in-state absentee owners), but they'll filter any search criteria I request for no additional charge. I'm wanting to use this list to wholesale, so I know I need to find properties with plenty of equity.

What criteria will narrow it down to properties that fit the bill?

I was thinking of asking him to filter for residential properties within a certain value range. What range? Under 100k? And what about also filtering by sale date? How long will indicate they've built a good amount of equity? Perhaps by tax district or city to limit it to the area I'm farming?

I'd appreciate your help!

Take the whole bunch, you can pick those you want to hit first, but each one of those addresses has future potential value to you.

I took the whole county and it was worth it. I almost only took a couple of cities but half of my deals were out of my usual market area and well worth it and some of those out of area leads lead to deals in my area..
