However healthy or unhealthy the economy, there will always be some homeowners who become unable to keep up with their mortgage. And there will always be reasons for loan officers to find and do business with distressed owners.
The trick, of course, is finding them – which is not a trick at all if you know where to look.
Here’s a Hint: Look to ATTOM Data Solutions
Finding distressed homeowners starts with finding the right public records. Those are kept at the county recorder office (or county registrar, or recorder of deeds – they have lots of different names) in every county, in every state.
Sounds straightforward enough until you realize that there are 3,007 counties in the United States – and that’s not even counting county-level governments that go by other names, depending on where you live. Louisiana has parishes instead of counties, for example (64 of them); Alaska has organized boroughs (16). And Virginia has 39 independent cities! Which means there’s lots of data out there, tucked away in lots of places going by lots of names.
Now, you could spend the rest of your life combing through records in individual county offices, or you can get what you need through ATTOM Data Solutions’ Comprehensive Real Estate Recorder Data. ATTOM Data puts you in touch with more than 430 million real estate and loan transactions in over 2,690 counties nationwide. That’s good, solid data from 90 percent of the counties in the United States. Not to mention, ATTOMs comprehensive lead generation tool, which generates thousands of qualified leads per month.
