@Lawrence ZhouThere are 2 types of texting platforms in the marketplace nowadays. 1.

Drill down to specific zip codes avoiding both war zones and "McMansion" areas....unless that's your niche...most deals are going to happen in bread and butter areasAbsentee Owned 40% equity or greater 0-50% All Combined LTV (a good combo with the equity filter; can help eliminate things like HELOCS and second mortgages, other things that will eat up equity)Find median home price for your area (I do it per each Zip then average) and set maximum market value, or assessed value no more than 50k higher5 + years of ownershipSingle Family (Property types>Detailed Property Types>Residential>SFR......I do it this way because ListSource occasionally has trouble differentiating Condos from detached homes) No Corporate owned Include Trust owned - Trusts buy and sell as much as any one elseIf you need more names, save this search with a unique name first, then go to the options tab and select Owner Occupied, then the demographics tab and select Age 65+, Change Length of Residence to 10 years+This will give you high equity owner occupants ready to downsize.Once you have the list, you'll have to bring it somewhere else to get phone numbers, but I really urge you to think that through first....I know there's big buzz about cold calling right now, but the buzz does not line up with my experience.
