Developing lists to cold call

[Tevin Russell]

Hello, 

I've been looking into wholesaling for a few months now and I've finally started to transition from the analysis paralysis phase to actually taking action (or trying to). 

I've decided to look up properties in a specific area that are tax delinquent to develop a list I could cold call.

Direct mails seems out of the question for now until I get a few deals out of the way to fund a proper campaign.

My process is as follows: A) List all properties that owe a certain amount in taxes where I feel there may be motivation to sell (ex. 8k owed & up). B) Look up their contact info through reverse address lookup through WhitePages C) Put the owner's number in the do not call registry lookup to see who i'm able to call or not.

My problem is that the process of checking if a number is on the DNC list is tedious. I just ran out of web lookups and was told I need to call their number and enter each number over the phone to look them up.

Is this process that I'm using standard? Am I making it harder than it needs to be? 

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
