WE, when called back, have a 30-minute window to be back onsite, dressed in hospital surgical scrubs (diff type of scrubs and diff laundered method).

The property needs minor touch ups - New painting, definitely some cleaning/scrubbing.

I scrub the list to remove things like properties with a mortgage, duplicates, etc. and spend a tremendous amount of time on pricing, because although these offers may be a lot less than retail, they are not out of the question.

We have been scrubbing other deals in Atlanta over the last few weeks and they appear to be drying up as well.

Before you buy lists and start dialing for dollars, you'll need to have a discussion with your Broker about having any list scrubbed for those on the National and State Do Not Call List. 

Then you have to factor in the plethor of fees, fines, costs, taxes, assessments, violations, late fees, winterization, insurance, recordings, boarding, document scrubbing, servicing, foreclosure, and cleaning out the crap the former homeowner left behind, not to mention the fines and penalties from cities like Kenosha, WI who hit us up today for grafitti, vacancy over 90 days, and peeling paint on a REO we can't sell due to no jobs in these rust belt cities. 

I scrubbed the county auditors website and made a list of 60 properties from 2-4 units that I was interested in.

@Jordan Hannes thank you so much for the breakdown on tax-delinquent counts in the metroplex, i did manage to find a programmer to process the data for me but i think i didn't do a great job scrubbing the list to filter good leads because the list i have has about 2,000 leads and so far i've only found a few good leads.

Want the best data that anyone on this site has ever seen... scrub all of the previous against obituary listing to look for surviving spouses...
