Jerry Puckett- "Refresh" sounds so much better than "scrub".

How would I then scrub these names and addresses against any new list I get in the future?

Dolita - Dev and Paul are talking about creating a list from a source that has already (hopefully) done the initial scrubbing for you, that is, eliminated properties without some criteria for equity.You are trying to start from having identified a property, that is, working from the other end.

Then trying to fix it or solve it with concrete paint is not reliable long term for a shower surface that will be scrubbed etc.

You need to scrub you list after a few months to see if any are sold.  

Scrubbing my list as I get returned postcards.  

The fact that they scrub REO's certainly is a plus.

Do you scrub your list to delete those, or do you call anyway?

I read the mailing companies can scrub your list for bad addresses.
