Absentee Owner Lists: Target Non-Owner-Occupied Properties for Off-Market Deals
Get verified absentee owner lists with complete owner contacts and property data. List57 delivers fresh non-owner-occupied property lists that help real estate investors and agents connect with out-of-state owners and absentee landlords before the competition. Our absentee owner leads include high-equity filtering, ownership length tracking, vacancy signals, and geographic targeting to maximize your off-market deal flow and ROI.
Why Absentee Owner Lists Work for Real Estate Investors
Absentee owner lists represent one of the most consistent sources of off-market deals in real estate investing. When you target non-owner-occupied properties, you're reaching landlords and out-of-state owners who often face property management challenges, rising expenses, and motivation to sell.
Higher Motivation to Sell
Absentee owners often deal with tenant turnover, deferred maintenance, rising insurance costs, and property management headaches. Our absentee owner lists help you identify non-owner-occupied properties where owners are ready for simple, as-is solutions.
Less Competition
Most investors focus on MLS listings and auctions. By using absentee owner leads to reach out-of-state owners and absentee landlords directly, you gain access to off-market opportunities before properties are publicly listed.
Flexible Deal Structures
Absentee owner lists open doors to creative strategies like seller financing, subject-to deals, lease options, and portfolio acquisitions. Many non-owner-occupied property owners prefer quick closings over maximum price.

How does List57 source absentee owner lists?
We compile absentee owner lists from county assessor and recorder offices nationwide, matching property addresses to owner mailing addresses. Our team verifies all information through multiple authoritative sources, then standardizes and classifies absentee type (in-state, out-of-state) before delivery to ensure you receive accurate, actionable absentee owner leads.
What information is included in absentee owner lists?
Each absentee owner lead includes complete owner contact details (name, mailing address, phone, email when available), comprehensive property data (address, beds, baths, sqft, estimated value), equity estimates, absentee type classification, ownership length, corporate owner flags, vacancy indicators, and tax assessment information.
How fresh are the absentee owner lists?
Our absentee owner lists are updated monthly or quarterly depending on your subscription preference and county update schedules. Each file includes data refresh timestamps so you know exactly how current the information is. Fresh absentee owner leads give you the best chance to connect with motivated non-owner-occupied property owners before competitors.
Can I filter absentee owner lists by out-of-state owners and equity?
Yes. List57 offers powerful filtering options for absentee owner lists including absentee type (in-state/out-of-state), equity thresholds (30-60%+), ownership length (5+, 10+, 15+ years), property type, corporate owner flags, vacancy signals, value bands, and geographic targeting (state, county, city, ZIP, radius). Stack multiple filters to target your ideal absentee owner leads.
Do absentee owner lists include phone numbers and email addresses?
Contact information is included when available from public records. We also offer phone and email append services to increase coverage rates for absentee owner lists. Typical append match rates are 60-75% for phone numbers and 40-60% for email addresses on non-owner-occupied property lists.
What is the difference between in-state and out-of-state absentee owners?
In-state absentee owners have mailing addresses in the same state as the property but in different cities or counties. Out-of-state absentee owners have mailing addresses in different states entirely. Out-of-state owners typically have higher motivation due to distance, property management challenges, and difficulty overseeing maintenance. List57 absentee owner lists include absentee type classification for both categories.
What format do absentee owner lists come in?
All absentee owner lists are delivered as CSV files with standardized headers and consistent formatting. Our non-owner-occupied property lists integrate seamlessly with popular CRMs, spreadsheet software, and marketing automation platforms.
