Very inspiring knowing that it can be done in expensive parts of Cali!  Congrats Zack

Hello 

So i just bought my first probate lead list with property attached. Before starting my campaign i want to verify that this list is legitimate, what can i research on the list that would verify a probate took place and there is a property attached. 

@Michael Quarles What an amazing piece of writing on marketing! Thank you and this will stick with me forever!

 Hey Tyler I am in Anaheim and can meet up for coffee . PM when you are available 

 Hi Darieal and thanks for your reply. 

I will probably do both, probates is a niche that i would like to get into more than absentee but i will try both on my first campaign . 

As far as call handling, i will split my monthly mailing into 4 (once a week) to control the incoming call volume. I have a business and this will my second endeavor so i will be available most of the day to take calls. I will be looking into automation and calls systems such as patlive once i'm done researching the campaign plan . I like to move in steps so once i'm confident in my campaign plan i will move on to planning the calling system. 

I'm planning my first campaign and while i'm leaning more towards probates i'm thinking i might as well send to Absentee as well. Im budgeting for 2000-3000 mailers a month for 7 months. Should i focus on one list or hitting both would be better ? 

@Demetri T. welcome to the forum Demetri. I'm new to BP as well. It's an amazing resource with endless available  knowledge.

I grew up in portland and graduated from PSU. I miss it but not the weather haha! Best of luck my friend

@Guy Olds thanks for your valuable insight I wasn't sure about obituaries and now I understand the difference from probates. 

I'm a new investor and have been reading a lot. Choosing to go with the somewhat more difficult market in the hopes of accomplishing more. 

I  would like feedback from seasoned investors. What is better or should i target both? 

I'm trying to generate a list for Orange County, When choosing No preference on "owner occupied status" i get 8,471 count, when choosing absentee owned it shrinks to 10. Is this something with how California furnishes information?
