Automated software add-on that grabs absentee owner records from you local county recorder, finds their phone numbers and then sends them a recorded message. It then logs their responses and makes it possible for you to find dramatically under market value properties and real estate deals that you can buy on seller terms with zero down payment.

Joe: Hey, it's Joe Crump. I wanted to tell you about a brand new add-on to my automarketing system that we just completed last week. I'm very excited about. It's the "Absentee Owner Add-on".
Joe: I've been doing absentee owners for many, many years. When we started out, we did it with snail mail. We just sent out letters to everybody. The snail mail still works. I've still got techniques for doing that that are awesome where we're getting a really high percentage response rate from them. It's a great way to go after them.
Joe: We then progressed into voice blasts a few years ago as well, but we had to do it in a way to where it took a while to get it set up and get them sent out. It was cheaper than doing it by mail, but it still had some challenges by getting the database together and by getting the phone numbers of all of these people and then doing that blast.
Joe: Well, now with the "Automarketer", we've made it possible that you can go into the county that you want to go into that you want to work in, you can scrape the absentee owners from that county and then you can send a voice blast to all of the ones that we can find phone numbers for. We can find the phone numbers very, very quickly using this system. I'm going to show you how it works here in just a second.
Joe: Absentee owners, for those of you who don't know, is when we go into the county tax record, and in the tax record, there's the address of the property and then there's the address where they want the bill to be sent. If the place where they want the bill to be sent is different than the property itself, then we know that the person who owns the property (the person on the title) usually doesn't live in the house, which means that they're an absentee owner.
Joe: If they're absentee owners, that means that they've either used it as a rental property, or that they've got some other reason that they haven't been able to sell it or that they're holding onto it other than the fact that they're like most people who live in their properties. So, they're a great resource to go after and great group of people to ask if they'll consider selling their properties.
Joe: So, that's how we do it. We go and approach them and say, 'We're investors. We'd like to buy your properties.' This is one of the best ways that I've ever found to buy under market value properties. One, there's nobody competing with you; very few people call absentee owners or contact absentee owners, so the competition is almost zero.
Joe: Now, if you go to for sale by owners like we do with Craigslist, we still have great success with Craigslist, but there's a lot of people that are contacting them, so it's a different level of competition. With absentee owners, nobody's talking to them and they may not even be thinking about selling their property until they get the note or the voice blast from you. So, it's a great source to go after.
Joe: I've created a program that teaches how to use this system and I'm going to be adding that to the add-ons, so when you get into this system, you'll be able to see how to use these leads, how to make offers on them, how to use the zero down structure hierarchy, how to do zero down deals with them and how to find properties that are dramatically under market value that you can either buy for cash or you can get as assignable cash deals that you can assign to someone else; a very simple process to do that....
