Hey King County BP Members,

I'm a licensed real estate managing broker here in Seattle, WA.

Recently, I've been interested in getting lists/information directly from our County Courts on Probates, Divorce, Evictions, Property Violations, Notice of Trustee Sale, etc, and have been asked to acknowledge/sign that this information will not be used for 'Commercial Purposes.'

What is considered 'Commercial Purposes?'

I'm not planning on re-selling the information, only using it for my real estate practice.

Please advise.

Sincerely, Kevin

Hi BP,

I'm looking to obtain a list my County in WA State. The Tax Accessors Office will provide you with an 'Entire Tax Roll' rather than a Delinquent Tax List. It's $250 for the Whole County. They told me it's updated daily.

1) How often would I want to order a new list so that I identify which new prospects fall into my 2+ years delinquent category? Quarterly, Semi-Annually, Annually?

2) I'm a real estate broker as well, and was interested in using this avenue for making good investments on the 'Purchase' for either 'Flipping' or 'Rentals' but also as a lead generator for Listings. Is this possible?

3) I understand that people 2+ years behind in Property Taxes are not in the right mindset, but if a property has a market value of $500,000, and have an existing mortgage of $200,000, and are $30,000 behind in Property Taxes. Why would they not just sell it as a traditional listing. $50,000 in closing cost + $200,000 on the Mortgage, and $30,000 in Delinquent Property Taxes = $220,000 in Equity or Net Proceeds following the closing of the property. (This is what is holding me back in regards to prospecting for them.)

4) I'm a huge prospecter for listings using Circle Prospecting, Farming, and Probates so my plan was to load up the Tax Delinquents into a Dialer and prospecting for either Flips, Rentals, & Listings.

5) My goal would be able to monitor my county for properties that fall into the 2+ year Delinquent Group, and be notified them the day of, so that I can call them immediately and see if I can identify an opportunity.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Hi BP Members,

I need to get an account for Experian skip tracing services.

I have a commercial space which I use for my real estate business, locked doors, etc.

I have a business license, and real estate license.

So the site inspection is not what I'm inquiring about, but it sounds like the application service is difficult to be accepted.

From speaking with a sales representative it sounds like they only want collection agency companies to gain access to their data and services, so I'm considering getting a collection agency license as a means of getting access to Experian.

If anyone could please provide a solution or advice on how I should proceed with getting an account with Experian it would greatly be appreciated.

Thank you. @joegore

Hi,

I'm interested in looking for a professional coach for commercial real estate specializing in Multi-Family and Mixed Used apartment building sales.

I want somebody who consistently sells at a minimum of $30,000,000 in sales volume per year.

If you know of anyone who fits this desription that is a coach for a living or would be interested in this, please let me know.

Thank you!

@Darren Sager.

Great quote! Appreciate the feedback, I'm going to implement this into my business within the next 3 months.

Hi Everyone,

After reading the 4 Hour Work Week by Tim Ferris, I'm seriously considering hiring a virtual assistant. I'd like to free up some of my time to be proactively cold calling/prospecting for leads.

Although these virtual assistant are not in the US, they still operate on PST when I need them (9-5pm M-F).

Tasks I plan on handing over to the VA are: admin work, research lists, bills, etc. but also following up with current clients that I'm working with in my pipeline.

While it'd be great to free up the time that I currently spend following up with current clients, I'm worried this will come off as impersonal to clients. Clients wouldn't know that my assistant isn't based out of my office, and I think that introducing my assistant into the picture from the beginning will lend more credibility and this way clients will know to expect that some follow up will come from my assistant, but that I will still be their main point of contact and will always be available to them.

I wanted to reach out to the BP community and hear some thoughts, in general or from anyone who has experience with this. Please give me any and all insight you might have! Thanks!

Daltom,

Welcome to BP!

I've learned a lot here.
