Now for today’s lesson!One of the main lead sources that I like to focus on is “Absentee
Owned” properties.  The reason for this is because it comprises of
several different types of deals that I can take advantage of as a
real estate investor.

For example, under the “absentee property umbrella”, I can find the
following types of deals:

1. Commercial deals which includes multi-units, lots, self storage
facilities, etc.- These properties fall under the absentee property umbrella because MOST landlords with multi unit properties don’t actually live in the property.

2. Probate / Estate deals- The beneficiaries on these estate deals are most likely going to fall under the absentee property umbrella as well.

3. Free and clear deals- You can find free and clear properties that are absentee owned.

4. Fire damaged deals- Obviously, no one is going to live in a fie damaged property.

5. Code Violation deals- Some of these properties are owned by landlords that don’t want to be landlords anymore.  And they are absentee owned as well.
