How To Pull A Fresh List Of Absentee Owners Using Attom Data

One of our least favorite leads (a year ago) recently turned into our favorite lead source due to the pandemic. The leads I’m talking about is a list of absentee owner leads.

An absentee owner is a person that owns a piece of real estate but they don’t live in that piece of real estate. 99% of the time, an absentee owner is another investor.

Before the pandemic, we couldn’t get these to convert at all. The level of motivation was very very low.

In the summer of 2020, we decided to give this lead another shot as we knew that many absentee owners were landlords and the chances of them not collecting rent from their tenants were pretty high. We built out a campaign using direct mail, ringless voicemails, and sms marketing and the results blew us away.

Using marketing pieces and messages saying…

I’m looking to purchase 4 rental properties in the area this month
I will pay you ALL CASH for your house
I can close whenever you want
I’m interested in homes that need a TON of repair, and homes that are in perfect shape so I can pay TOP DOLLAR and put a tenant in them immediately
You won’t have to pay a Realtor Commission
I want to be your buyer
If you ever want an offer on your house that you can’t refuse, then let me know

Fast forward to this post in April of 2021, and an absentee owner is now by far one of the hottest lists you can market to as a Real Estate Investor.

As a Real estate Investor, you know the importance of using fresh, reliable leads when it comes to launching a marketing campaign to get motivated sellers to contact you. There are lots of places online that propose to sell “fresh” leads, but the truth is that many of them are simply re-selling stale leads that they have purchased elsewhere. That’s why we recommend Attom Data, as it is a highly reputable company that compiles all of its own lists in-house daily, so you know you are always getting the best possible results.
