You're absolutely right that most owners usually aren't there.....I'm hoping for that 1 or 2 that are! It's not my only way to look for deals of course. We have a direct mail campaign going on too and are working with brokers. I think I'd like to try your method for developing a direct mail list. Currently, I'm using public records from the MLS (since I have access as a licensed agent) but I know for a fact that not everything is coming up. I think I'll definitely contact the assessor's office tho and try your technique. Thanks for sharing it! Hey Tmo!

I have simply called the county assessor from the comfort of my desk and had them send me a spreadsheet of let's say all "multi family classified property over 10,000 sf in the county (or city) It is usually about $20 to $50 per list and wha bamm owners name/add and property address. Then mailmerge into MS word or a postcard mailer and you will get replies from interested owners. Thats actually a great way to do it except owners are not usually on site….

I don't have their actual numbers and expenses. I'm quite sure dude is waiting for my "company info" to make sure I'm a valid company and buyer prior to giving me access to their actual income and expense numbers. Know what I mean? That's the thing with apartment complexes, you really need to know the details of the property from the owner prior to making an offer, you can't just do comps. Know what I mean? I'm excited tho about going to see more apartment buildings tho. I just wish they were as plentiful as single family houses lol ya know?

Hopefully Chris will be able to give you some help with regards to your "Company Information." In the end that guy might have just been trying to get rid of you, kind of like "have your people call my people". Instead of sending him your company info, I would drum up an offer with some proof of funds doc and see what he has to say. Well done Carey!
