I'm about to start a team of callers on these lists, but I don't want to waste their time or my time with these dead leads.I'm thinking of charging back the expense with my credit card company because I'm pretty disappointed.Does anyone have any solutions they'd recommend for getting accurate property owner phone numbers?

@Barre Gambling I am curious... in your opinion, is our area in central NC underserved outside of the Raleigh-Cary-Durham MSAs?

The judgments have to be looked up manually, because screening software only looks for unlawful detainers and the Virginia court records don’t feed consistently accurate to the other programs.

I tend to believe that could be a reasonable stat for the experienced investors, however, I don't know where you even get enough accurate data to formulate anything.

Assuming the ARV you mentioned is accurate, at 75% LTV you'd be able to pull enough equity to cover your existing payoff, refi costs and walk away with a good chunk of cash in your pocket.

I leave the marginal ones waiting, letting them know I will reach out when I have a showing date/time.At the showing, I collect their completed application (sent via PDF prior or filled out on premises), scan their photo ID and last 2 pay stubs.Then, I do some digging around online (social media, court records, Google) and if it looks like they are representing themselves to me accurately, I contact them and send them a link to do the background checks (paid by them directly to the vendor). 

Until you get better clarity on those answers, you are more likely gambling instead of investing.

Is this accurate? 

@Paola AstridRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

-can you accurately analyze deals?
