Do you have a general "tired lanlord" letter that you send out or is it tailored. Also what percentage of your target is made up of these landlords..I am adding this strategy to my campaign and would like to know about how much time I should spend looking for these guys. Thanks!

Hey guys! I need a little bit of guidance here. I was listening to a podcast the on BP the other day and a great strategy to find leads was mentioned where you can find evictions and contact the land lord in hopes of purchasing the property. I can not for the life of me figure out where to look in the public records database. I am targeting the Tarrant county and Parker county areas in Texas so if you have any tips I would greatly appreciate it!! Thanks

So I guess you handled it with grace and poise-- and it looks like you may even get another deal?? I say congrats and way to go!  Was she on the cusp of pulling out of the deal or just curious as to how it all works? I always have this fear of "being found out". I would say that as long as we as investors are completely honest from the beginning then we should not apologize for making money. After all this is our business right?? Good job Ryan, I look forward to learning more from you.

Thanks Ryan and Hattie, I have begun to realize the hurdles of a non-disclosure state. The thing is, I did not find anything at all--the site said 0 records for requested address, so I was wondering how this could be. Maybe K. Marie's post from earlier about the house and street address being different is a clue but I am not sure. Hattie I will send you what I have and maybe we can work it backwards together. I appreciate you offering to take time out to help. I am not afraid of a little hard work when it comes to due diligence but when I get a zero reading it's kind of hard to get traction. This is why I love what I do--never a dull moment! Thanks y'all

Another quick thing, I found one that was vacant and when I found the info I saw that it was owned by US Bank Trust from South Carolina--I am in Texas. The deed date is from a year ago. How would I turn this into a deal?? Does the deed date mean much?? Thanks again

Ok so, I believe they are organized block, lot...not sure if thats right (bear with me I am new!) I will definitely do the google driving. As far as going to the County Assessors office, what would be the verbiage? --"I saw a vacant house that I am curious about here is the house address?" something along those line? Is it a pay to play type thing, in other words would I be charged to see or copy the records..or maybe thats per county. Thanks for the advice I will start there! I know that one of these homes was looking for rent a year ago and had been sitting for a while so I am thinking something happened but I can not seem to find a record of it. I cant sleep at night thinking I may be leaving a deal twisting in the wind!!

Ok so I am sure this may have been answered already, but I looked and cant seem to find the answer. I was out today in this beautiful DFW weather and the ice coming in hindered my ability to meet some appointments so I decided I would look around for some new properties....I was driving so I decided to drive for dollars. I found about ten vacant or rental (ugly rentals with a for rent by owner type sign) in the area I was in. I got home and went to go look them up on the appraisal site and out of the ten..I only found information on four! I put the info in all different ways but I could not find anything. Please give me a heads up and let me know if there are any other ways to get info on these properties. Thanks for any advice and answers in advance!

Hey Elijah, I am always looking to expand my network! I am a wholesaler as well, but working with other wholesalers is always good. I have a small buyers list so I may come across a deal that doesn't work for my buyers but may work for yours, so we can JV and split deals if need be. I will pm you on my area and we can connect.
