Hi Guys,I focus almost exclusively on probates and I need to market to a different market segment to increase deal flow.I'm looking for a good list source to market to a specific group of property owners.a) Owners who have a mailing address different that the property address in a specific zip code b) Owners who own their property free and clear.I'm looking for good, fresh lead sources that are affordable.I havent bought leads for quite some time and need to know who I can go to and who to stay away from.Are you wholesalers actively buying lists out there?

I turned toward investing out of state and have been extremely happy so far.I talk a bit about how I researched and got the information I needed to move forward on the 25th BP Podcast I think my segment comes on around 48 minutes.

You need to dig deeper than Zillow for a deal.You can argue whether we are in a bubble or even what a bubble is....there are some segments and neighborhoods of the Chicago market which are really hurting and down over the past 18 months and showing very bad signs that not many people are talking about.

In all of my research there are mixed feelings on whether or not there is a huge crash coming in this segment. 

Don't worry about "where" worry about becoming an expert in that market segment and you will do just fine. 

However as a Landlord you must ask yourself, do you really want to rent your property to this segment of our population?

Further, I've seen some data that indicate that townhomes with sufficient outdoor space could begin to meet demand from demographic segments that are generally considered to prefer single family detached products (families with children, etc). 

But there is nothing wrong with segmenting the work. 

This will also give you insight on how you might segment your lists and solicite different offers, depending on the title, facts and circumstances.

So, my first piece of advice is to become an expert on a specific area; pick a zip code or school district...something that provides a defined segmentation.
