Does anyone know of a source where I can upload a list (.csv) of Parcel Numbers and it would spit out the corresponding addresses?

I purchased a delinquent tax list from our county but they've conveniently left out the property address for each parce

Hi All, 

I'm writing my first yellow letter and plan to send out to probate, absentee and driving for dollars contacts. 

We've got a little different model and can accept donated & bargain-sale properties, so I'm trying to differentiate myself from others sending out mail

I'd love some perspectives on the letter and any tips to get a better response for our program, thank you again

Greetings,

My name is Jake Weiler, I work with Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity and we are interested in your property.

I’m sure you’ve received other junk mail from the “We Buy Houses” crowd about how they can make you a lowball cash offer in 24 hours, but I wanted to reach out personally and tell you why we are different.

We’ve developed a program that focuses on acquiring, renovating and fundraising with real estate to help drive our mission.

Milwaukee Habitat is combating our city’s affordable housing crisis by helping local families build or repair a place they can call home. We are revitalizing Milwaukee blocks at a time and changing generations to come.

Your property can help change the lives of a Milwaukee family.

We can do more with your property than other investors and we can give you more options.

Donation - if you are in a situation where a large deduction could help your tax liability, we can accept your home as a donation.
“Bargain Sale” - if you need cash but could also use a deduction, the bargain sale path can achieve both of these needs.
Cash Purchase - If the price is right, we can also make a cash offer on the home.

If you’ve considered selling your property, consider Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity.

Thank you again and I can be reached at XXXXXXXX or XXXXXXXXXXX.org

Best,



Jake Weiler
Real Estate Development Manager

I've got a house that needs all new paint, any suggestions on color other than "off white" that you've used when oak trim is EVERYWHERE?

Hi All,

Brand new member here, we are starting a new program for Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity where we invest in & flip homes to raise funds for our Mission.

Out of the gate, we're identifying and building our teams, I believe we've got a head-start on this

We've got a ton of development to do but my main concern is finding a good deal early as a "proof of concept"

We had 2 "Bargain Sale" properties come TO US last year and they went well, I'd like to show our organization the idea of hunting down deals is a winner as soon as possible

With limited marketing budget in the very beginning, I'm planning on a driving for dollars approach

I've read a bit about lists to provide some homes to target, mainly on listsource.com. Say I get a list honed in to around 50 targets I plan to door-knock, how expensive would that list run?

Is there another avenue I should look at to target my first deal with minimal marketing dollars?

Also and obviously, I don't know what I don't know right now. Any tips, education, contacts in the Milwaukee (or any other) area we can work with would be super helpful

Thank you all and happy hunting!
