Hello, I have purchased 4 different asset manager lists over the past two years, but three were ineffective with outdated information and many email bounce-backs or returned mail.The best list I found was at RealEstateTargetdotcom; I did a successful snail mail and email campaign, and picked up three new banks and an account with LPS.I also cross referenced names on the list to see who was attending or speaking at various REO conferences, and made efforts to meet asset managers in person.

It is also simple to use a beneficiary deed (transfer-on-death) for real property.However, if there is no named executor of my estate (no will/no trust), how would the DAF be notified of my passing and the existence of the beneficiary deeds? 

We used a service and a proven letter, I mailed every month for 6 months, actually alternating 500 every two weeks, so I had more time to follow up with the usually 30-ish responses. 

I was just informed that all the mail goes to the front house.

Using a lower-cost skip tracing service and then a call/mail/sms campaign service separately may reduce your costs.

If you enter a channel in there, they then notify the channel and you are charged commission for it.

Another way they are making money: Offering to market our properties to their mailing list of turnkey buyers.Another $1k down the drain.

Once a default has occurred - be it missed monthly payment, note maturity, etc, the note holder or their representative send a letter to the debtor notifying them of the default and providing the statutory timeline for corrective action.

Quote from @Jonathan Greene: I like DealMachine because they have skiptracing including in Pro now, but I still think of it more for neighborhood canvassing and mailing (aka driving for dollars) than multifamily acquisition opportunities.

I am thinking in running a mail campaign to hit some deals off market.
