My partners and I do our own prelim scrub of the titles using online systems in our markets.

Now I scrub every list I get against the NCOA.

Once you get the list which may be HUGE scrub the list down.

Just remember that you are marketing "to" not marketing "with".Beyond your plan above, suggest you consider two things beyond the obvious probate process and documents required to transfer real property:Learn to filter your records and be able to scrub the undesirables both up front and during successive mailings as well as a way to identify the high probability records for possible different treatment.Have a Lead sheet ready for all callers so that you can have a productive conversation.

I've scrubbed it as much as possible and it hasn't improved.

(Not only out of state or tax delinquent.)We scrub the list and then spend a tremendous amount of time on pricing, because although these offers may be a lot less than retail, they are not out of the question.

You can use it to clean/scrub any other list that you may acquire.

I haven't seen evidence of mold anywhere else in the property.I would like to fix this myself and avoid using remediation people if at all possible.1) Is the best course of action just to cut out those parts of the drywall/board that have it, so I don't risk contaminating other areas, rather than trying to scrub it off?

It's to get tons of people (ants) to go out and scrub properties in the hopes that they find some good ones the seminar teacher can partner up on and make money.They know from experience finding the deal is a time suck so they want to use grunts to do it.I find deals for commercial clients but also usually making six figures per deal for my time so worth it for me.

Scrub it for your farm area and start there.
