Property list info that's not on listsource and hard to get?

[Hussain Harun]

Hi All,

I finally got good VA who can do quick work at a cheap price. I want to put her to work to help me create some unique property lists that either can't be bought or you need to do more work after you buy the list from listsource, for example. I'm focused on rentals 1 to 4 units. Off the top of my head this is what I could come up with:

1) Having VA to state court records to pull list of property owners who filled for eviction 

2) Having VA improve list I buy from listsource by finding actual owners when it's listed as a business

3) Having VA improve list I buy from listsource by skip tracing and finding phone numbers

Does anyone have any ideas of how I can use my VA to gather hard to get info or improve my chances of reaching an owner? I want to dive into foreclosures but not search where to start...

Thanks!

Hello @Hussain Harun

VAs are essential these days. As @Brenden Mitchum said, the properties already scheduled for foreclosure are public record and easy to find. Your VA can take that info, put it in a spreadsheet and add the other info you´ll need, like beds/baths, age, permits, recent comps etc.

If you are using a VA for pre foreclosure info (evictions, lis pendens, tax defaults, divorces etc) then they can look that stuff up on public record also and create a list for you to market to. You need to figure out what distressed seller and property types you want, design a system around it, teach the VA to follow it and have feedback loops so you can monitor progress.
