Once you are receiving vacant house leads from your birddogs, you’ll want to hire a VA (virtual assistant) to conduct property research to find the owners name and mailing address (80% of the time the mailing address will be the same as the property address on vacant houses). Then, after you have the owners name and mailing address confirmed, you’ll want your VA to skip trace the owner of the property and find their phone numbers.
PROFESSIONAL INVESTOR TIP: While your VA is researching and skip tracing the owners name, most research tools will also list the names of the owners heirs. MAKE SURE they also collect the names and phone numbers of the owners heirs so you can contact them if you are unable to contact or find the owner. This is usually the “money” strategy when you can’t find the owner and it’s a step most people ignore.
