Distressed property leads in Indiana

Propertiz reads Indiana county and city records every night, ties each one to a property and underwrites it, so you can see which owners may sell before the house is listed. Live in Marion County (Indianapolis) and St. Joseph County (South Bend). Each county keeps its own records, so each one lists exactly what is included today and what isn't yet.

How distress shows up in Indiana

In Indiana, foreclosure goes through the courts. The lender files a foreclosure lawsuit in the county court, the court enters a judgment, and the property is sold at a public auction run by the clerk or the sheriff. Each step is a public record, so an owner's situation shows up months before a sale, while there is still time to sell on their own terms.

Unpaid property taxes in Indiana are sold as tax certificates; if the owner doesn't redeem in time, the certificate holder can apply for a tax deed, which ends in the owner losing the property.

All data is public under Indiana's Access to Public Records Act (IC 5-14-3).

Contacting owners in Indiana

Contact owners respectfully. Mail first. Indiana's Do Not Call list (IC 24-4.7) has no exemption for investors, and IC 24-5-14 limits autodialed and recorded calls, so follow those and the federal TCPA before any call or text.

No leaseback or "save your home" offers to owners in foreclosure; Indiana's mortgage rescue fraud law (IC 24-5.5) covers them.
