I think it's a question of whether you'd rather spend more time or money... neutral postcards are definitely cheaper and you can hit more people, but they also tend to waste a lot more time. If you have time to spend, postcards can work, but if you've got less time and more money to spend, then blind offers are probably a better option.
Have you ever used propstream.com ? It's $97 a month and lets you download 10k records a month BUT I'm not sure if it's better than data tree specifically for land like data tree. I have not done land deals but starting. Been doing houses for last 5 years
Thank you Seth for all the videos you posts. They're all great. How do you get info on a vacant lot that you have seen while driving by? No property number, nor phone number to call?
Happy to help! You could use something like Parlay retipster.com/parlay paired with Google Earth retipster.com/ged/ to find the property and figure out who owns it. You could also do a lot of this with DataTree too. Here's a video explaining how Parlay works: th-cam.com/video/c83nptPsYTw/w-d-xo.html And here's a video on MapRight (which can be used for some of the same things as Parlay): th-cam.com/video/ImTAr_EP2Dc/w-d-xo.html - good luck!
Very informative. You always provide quality content. I think I missed something at minute 18:08. How did you know that the lot you were pointing at was like the subject property?
I could tell just because I was so familiar with the parcel shape, size and location (when you look at a single property long enough, it becomes pretty easy to identify at first glance). Sorry - I should've been more clear about that!
That's one way to do it, yes. Once you've got a specific property that you need to research (either right before or after making an offer), this is one way to get a lot of the information you'll need.
Hi Tony - That link leads to a blog post. Once you're on the blog post, you have to scroll all the way to the bottom and sign up for the email list - then it will unlock a free download link where you can get it.
I did not develop it. The pricing depends on which plan you get and how frequently you use it. You can see the discounted pricing on this page: retipster.com/datatree
Wow, thanks. I've always wondered too. Very helpful.
Great video, thanks! Out of curiosity, how do you determine whether to mail blind offers or "I want to buy your land" letters?

Great content. But I was disappointed that you did not cover SFR's as well. It would be incredibly awesome if you could explain that process as well.
I'm wanting to get into tax defaulted property, this should help out a lot😊
Best of luck!
@@Retipster thank you 😊

I haven't, sorry!

Hey is this still the best way to research properties?

This is a great video 😎
So this is after you get the delinquent tax property list from the county?
That's one way to do it, yes. Once you've got a specific property that you need to research (either right before or after making an offer), this is one way to get a lot of the information you'll need.
What if there are no owners listed on the parcel then who would I contact?
I've honestly never seen a parcel with no owners listed on it.
Hi, I can't find or download the property research spreadsheet. Can you revisit the above link, doesn't seem to be going to the spreadsheet.

How much is this datatree software? Did you develop it?

Great content and share. Thanks.
Thanks Ed!
