Scrubbing Absentee Owner List

Hey everyone, quick question that I haven't been able to easily search and find the answer for.

When pulling an absentee owner list, especially in my area, I run into a lot of houses that have two addresses (usually due to being a double lot). For example, "100 Main Street" may have a mailing address of "102 Main Street" and not be vacant or distressed at all.

What techniques do you use to scrub a list like this? Keep in mind I use Propstream. Would I just have to visually scan it and delete the ones that are obviously no good, prior to running a campaign or export it to Excel, run some script that takes care of this and import it back in?

Thanks !

Hey John,

I would just have a virtual assistant go in and find all of these types of fields and then highlighting them for you.

This would take the tediousness of you doing that yourself and you can just focus on reviewing the highlighted rows.

Thanks for the tip @Joe Gonzalez .. Do you use VA's for most of your work? What are your marketing methods?
