@Elliot - Cash strapped Towns/Cities are looking for revenue wherever they can and building/dump permits are an easy area to extract extra revenue from.

So, one could use a 1031 exchange to sell one's property, defer the taxes from that sale, buy a new property, and restart the clock.http://www.finweb.com/taxes/real-estate-depreciation-and-tax-sheltering.htmlhttp://www.invest-2win.com/depreciation.htmlSecond, one might want to sell a smaller property to extract the capital to acquire a larger property.Third, the owner intends to move out of the area, and doesn't want to be a remote landlord.Fourth, divorce . . . need I say more?

If the property appraises at $400K even 80% LTV would not allow any money extracted (Your current loan is at 81% LTV state if RE is valued at $400K).So you need an LTV above 80% for any extract of money. 

I'm even willing to pay to get these files, but the only person on Fiverr that came up had only a 1 rating.To further explain: I received an FTP site -> go to that site and get a directory/index of folders -> I click on the folder for the delinquent properties and get a list of zip files -> click on the file it opens in File explorer to extract -> I click extract and get these .DAT files.

I am searching for resources to scrape data from County records.This will probably involve writing scripts to extract data from County records for each type of motivation like tax delinquents, etc.Thank you!

They tried to extract at the minimum $8,500.00 for their programs and mentoring. 

For someone (like me) who does multiple rehabs simultaneously, getting my money out of one project and into another is more important than extracting every last penny of profit.

How does one go about Extracting Data from Public Websites to build a highly targeted mailing list?

Those sellers are going to want to extract as much money out of the property as they can. 

But you have to have a strategy to extract more value from the property.
