Hey everyone! 👋 A question that comes up a lot inside real estate & wholesaling circles is whether pulling county public records—like probate, tax delinquency, divorce, foreclosure, pre-foreclosure, and mortgage/tax surplus funds—is obsolete. The short answer? Absolutely NOT. It is still the highest-equity, lowest-cost way to lock up off-market deals. 💰 However, pulling a generic, single-filter list and sending 500 postcards is officially dead. Everyone and their neighbor is buying the exact same nationwide list. Here is the breakdown of what's working with county record leads right now: --- 🔥 1. Probate & Pre-Probate • Why it works: Executors/heirs usually want speed, cash, and simplicity—not top-dollar market listings. • Pro-Tip: Don't buy 6-month-old "deceased flags." Go directly to your county clerk or probate court records (or use daily updated data feeds) to reach decision-makers early with empathy. ⚡ 2. Tax Delinquencies & Pre-Foreclosures • Why it works: Sellers are facing extreme urgency and financial distress. • Pro-Tip: Raw tax delinquent lists are crowded. The secret is "List Stacking"—filter for properties that are Tax Delinquent + Vacant + High Equity for your priority outreach. ⚖️ 3. Divorce & Court Filings • Why it works: High motivation to liquidate joint real estate assets quickly to divide proceeds. • Pro-Tip: Build referral relationships with local family law/divorce attorneys in addition to pulling public domestic relations filings. 💸 4. Mortgage & Tax Surplus Funds • Why it works: Often overlooked, this is an incredible niche where you assist former owners in recovering excess funds from tax/foreclosure auctions (or acquire properties prior to tax deed sales). --- 🚀 How to Win with County Data: 1️⃣ List Stacking: Combine 2 or 3 distress indicators (e.g., Code Violation + Tax Delinquent). 2️⃣ Speed-to-Lead & Multi-Channel Outreach: Combine direct mail with calls, SMS, or cold outreach within 48 hours of filing. 3️⃣ Lead with Solutions: Empathy and problem-solving beat aggressive sales pitches every single time.
