@Shawn Hundley If you go and visit the county and the cities in that county you will find every single builder there is. This will help you build a builders list, a flipper list and commercial land builder. Pretty much anybody who has gotten a permit, own land or has build property in the past. I think REIA can be a waste of time. Because why find just a couple builders who visit REIA's when you can find ALL OF THEM in bulk at one time.

I've been able to move lots to holders and builders. Let me know if you need any help.

@Greg Dickerson is right. But you can also get free list if you go to the county or to the county website. I don't pay for list and my suggestion is you don't either. I ask the county for the entire list of properties in their database. It comes with every property that they have on file with all the information needed in one bulk.

If you need help let me know.

I've been able to do this in bulk in couple counties worth of data like this. It can be very technical but my partner and I have done this in a couple counties with 7 million addresses already with 40+ or so cities. I'm willing to point you or anyone in this post in the right direction if you still help. 

The most efficient way to find cash buyers that I have done is filtering the county database. It can sometimes be very technical and sometimes not. You can go to the county and ask for the entire database of properties. I've found this is possible in many different counties. I've done this countless of times. My buyers list is the size of King Kongs left index finger. When I'm done with the 4 counties I am preparing to market to, my buyers list will soon be the size of King Kong left hand. I pay minimal dollars to acquire all my buyers and I have a sweet system that I use to manage and contact them. 

I would highly recommend NOT buying a buyers list and blasting emails and text messages to them without introducing yourself like everyone else does. But if you are really good at reading what the cookie cutter buyer wants you don't have to contact them until you found exact what they already have brought. I recommend building a relationship with each one of them if you can. 

If you acquire a buyers list the way I did you will find buyers in different counties, states and in my case some in different countries. Try to think outside the box and look for places where a turnkey buyer might live, ohh lets say for example the (SEC) Security Exchange Commission or a lawyers or physicians directory.

A very influential person once told me that "you get out what you put in". Let me know if you need help with anything.

@May Emery I'm very aware of what skip tracing is. Thanks.

@Tracy Mooring What's the name of the county you are looking for?

My advice is to go to your county to get the list. It's updated weekly sometimes daily. 

You can do what @Cody L. has suggested and also stop marketing to the same people that everyone else has marketed to. Everyone is using Listsource and are getting the same Absentee owner list in the same zip code. Do something different like stack your buyers list properties with your targeted zip code list. This will save you time and money and you will only target people who are not season investors.

The county records database has all the buyers and sellers. It's cheap and sometimes from to get everyone at one time. Got there to get a cheap/free buyers list.

My advice can be pretty technical but it is far better than any other option other than the MLS plotted on a graph. Unless you want to pay for it using Corelogic or some other services. You don't have to input the information manually. They will give you the entire list at once. I personally use MapBox!
