On other websites that give you surplus records, they have not taken several factors into account before they hand you a surplus list. A record may not be good to pursue for several reasons that you don’t find out later and you will waste huge amounts of time and quickly be discouraged.
For example, you may see a record with $60,000 in surplus owed to Joe Smith and you get set to start seeking him out. You perform skip tracing, call many numbers, send letters, seek out relatives, convince him to sign a contract, fill out all the forms, get them notarized, send it to the county and then…. your claim is denied because there are governmental liens on the property that takes all of the surplus.
It is imperative that you find out if a surplus record is indeed good before you move on to the next step
