THE PROBLEM & OPPORTUNITY OF ZOMBIE FORECLOSURES

THE PROBLEM AND OPPORTUNITY OF ZOMBIE FORECLOSURES

• The problem
– More than 167,000 vacant homes nationwide, 20
percent of all homes in the foreclosure process
– Homeowners often don’t realize they still own the
property and are responsible for taxes etc.
• The opportunity
– Homeowners who have exhibited a desire to let go of
the property
– Lenders who don’t want to foreclose

LEVERAGING DISTRESSED TRENDS TIP NO. 5
Identify homeowners who have
vacated their homes and get
new mailing addresses
