Build an Absentee Owner List in DealMachine

To build an absentee-owner list in DealMachine, search for absentee-owned homes in your target city, refine the results with criteria such as equity, then save the matching properties as a list. Browsing, searching, and saving the list are free; revealing chargeable owner contact details uses people credits.

How do I build an absentee-owner list in DealMachine?

1. Choose a market. Start a property search for the city or area you want to work. In AI Search, you can describe the target in plain English, such as “absentee-owned homes in Dallas.”
2. Refine the results. Add a criterion such as equity, review the matching properties and result count, and adjust the search if the list is too broad. Available matches depend on the property records in the search.
3. Save the properties as a list. Save the search results as a named list. The list is a fixed set of records; a saved search can be rerun later to find fresh matches.
4. Review and enrich when ready. Open the list and reveal owner phone numbers or emails for the records you want to contact. You can also export records; chargeable fields may use credits.

For more on saving searches and lists, see Saving Searches & Building Lists. To search absentee-owned or LLC-owned homes in plain English, see DealMachine AI Search.

What does an absentee-owner list cost?

Browsing, searching, counting matches, and saving a list do not use data credits. Revealing owner phone numbers or emails uses one person credit per unique person. Chargeable property details in an export can use property credits separately. A property and a person count separately, and a record already unlocked in the current billing cycle is not charged again.

Example: You save 100 properties with one distinct owner each. Creating the list costs 0 credits. Revealing contact details for all 100 owners uses 100 person credits if those people have not already been unlocked this cycle. If you also export chargeable property details, property credits may apply to the unique properties requested. Phone and email for the same person count as one person record, not two.

Check your available balance and current plan before revealing contacts or exporting chargeable fields. Read the data-credit guide · See current plans and start an account.

How can I check my list before I contact owners?

Review the city, search criteria, and result count before saving. Open the list and verify the properties match your target market. Property and owner records can be incomplete or outdated; confirm important details before acting on them.
