I still get them just like I get the IRS calling me from India or Bangladesh!

BTW I was sympathetic to Roy's discussion of non religious people or those of different faiths but I just have to add that the true story that one of my tenants is muslim and he started celebrating Christmas, so deep is it in the culture here in North America.

I have an idea that could make you pocket you some quick dough in our tech driven info age:Develop an app for finding absentee owners using someone on Fiverr or some techie in India for cheapCall it something snazzy like "Absentee Owner Gold"Market it like crazy online and make it available on Google Play and the Apple Store and anywhere else applicable for a cheap price like $1.99 with no refunds Have customer support via email or phone only in some foreign country where english is a fourth languageTech/info driven real estate investors buy it in drovesThey open the app and a message pops up "knock on some of the neighbors doors"Frustrated customers call/email customer support and get further frustrated by the inability to communicate with foreign customer service whose english is a fourth language but they string the customer along anyway thus buying you time to make more salesKeep it up for as long as it takes to make 6 or 7 figures Close up shop and disappear

I am originally from India but living in Vancouver for the last 1.5 years (just finished my MBA).

This was not some low end group you would expect, with bad grammar and an account in India. 

I have done a few land deals in my native country india.

I have been paying my VA in India  via Xoom.com. 

@India BrownWe think terms of the financing are important.

One man visiting from India to see his newborn grandson was shot by police for taking a walk around the block, doesn't speak English, so he didn't know what "put your hands up is".Probate list, you probably get a few leads of those.

@India Brown hi India I got my absentee list from there and it was no where near a coma.
