Distressed property leads in Ohio

Propertiz reads Ohio 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 Franklin County (Columbus), Cuyahoga County (Cleveland), Hamilton County (Cincinnati), Montgomery County (Dayton), Stark County (Canton), Lorain County (Elyria) and Clermont County (Batavia). 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 Ohio

In Ohio, 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.

All data is public under Ohio's Public Records Act (R.C. 149.43).

Contacting owners in Ohio

Contact owners respectfully. Mail first; follow federal rules (TCPA, Do Not Call) and Ohio's telephone-solicitation law (R.C. Chapter 4719) for calls and texts.

No leaseback or "save your home" offers to owners in foreclosure. If you assign contracts, Ohio requires a written wholesaler disclosure to the seller.
