Trying to collect addresses accurately while D4D.

[Joshua Howaniec]

I've been driving for dollars in Marion county Indianapolis, looking for distressed homes for wholesalers. There is a problem I'm having, I get way to many pieces of mail back saying that the address isn't valid, it cannot be sent as addressed, etc...and that is after I check all the addresses with Google maps and the marion county property cards. I need a suggestion to be sure this seemingly obvious task is completed with more efficiency. Mucho gracias!

Hey @Joshua Howaniec I have noticed this in Marion County, too. Your source for the owner address is the county records, so those addresses should be correct... 

Occasionally I will get returned mail with "invalid address" even though the owner address matches the county record.

My next step is to use USPS's address verification to see if they will make any corrections to the address so I can re-send it.

If that fails I will do a google search for the owner name to find alternate contact methods (linkedin, facebook, maybe an address)

And lastly there is a skip tracing service called TLO by TransUnion that I have heard discussed a lot but I haven't tried myself, yet.

Why this happens is a mystery to me!
