absentee owner list

does anyone do any marketing to this group? Any luck? Where do you get the data?

You can try realquest.com or melissadata.com. They both can get you these types of mailing lists. The first one you have to subscribe to the service, the second one you can just order your list for a fee based on record counts. You will get calls but you have to remeber that most of these owners are also investors so they can be savvy.

Savvy? In what way?
