If you can set up RVMs to be fully automated and run on continuous rotations they are extremely useful. Good phone numbers and motivated list are just as important. All actions or inaction moves prospect to different "buckets" Call back or lack of can trigger a different marketing method. Emails, Direct Mail and cold calling are all great methods but using them together is a unicorn.

Sending them to an IVR will save you time.  Have your message say something about buying real estate and press 1 to speak to someone and press 2 to remove from your list. Personally, I think the partial ring helps.

We have to break it out over 40 hours a week to control call volume

We change phone numbers every 10k drops. January's RVMs will exceed 400,000. They work and at the cost of .02 per successful drop the only thing close is email. (another awesome method of large scale prospecting)

Talking with a big data provider last night and he called this idea "List Hydration" and

sounded pretty excited about the concept with references to unicorns.

Thanks @Dan Milinazzo, I maintain a database of distresses properties across many different states for clients. Updating 4 million Last Sale Dates monthly was not a service that I found available and not cost effective to pay VA's to update.

Building custom list and skip trace is a big expense for any investor. 

Updating old list just seems logical

Idea is to two-fold – use current “ Last Sale Date” to scrub list.

1. Clean list before skip trace to remove Sold Properties. (Code violation, Tax, really any list)

2. Remove Sold Properties from "old" marketing list.

Does this sound like something that would be useful or is it fixing a problem that does not need fixing?

I dont use bandit signs personally. Fines + signs are more expensive than direct mail

David, 

Its simple, just do theses 4 things:

1.Find prospects with problem/s today

2.contact them first

3.Add new prospects to your funnel everyday

4.contact them on multiple channels

LOL, the four steps are anything but easy and would consider it "the unicorn of marketing". Just broke 4000 + paid developer hours on a platform to do theses 4 steps. Once the prospect raises his hand human interaction is needed to set appointment or feel out the situation. I believe mail, text, rvm, email should be scheduled and fully automated. The feed source for that system is the issue.

Building the framework to update ownership and relationships between all court cases, taxes and property data have been solved and made real time for property owners. Our clients have great success prospecting to evictions and want to add companies that have court problems and own less than 10 properties.

We are at the point of development where we are collecting company owner names for our data base project. Our clients are in 6 counties in different states or about 2.5 million properties.

I can filter companies by total assessed property value or number of properties owned to reduce the number of searches.

SOS state website seems to be the simplest method but was going to ask what other data source the techies have found that provide property ownership details?

Google list stacker. There are a plenty of software or programs that already do what you are looking for. You could do it yourself, hire or VA or try and reinvent the wheel. I tend to lean toward reinventing the wheel.

@Brian Crowe What sort of tax data are your looking for? - Specific county or entire state?
