What is Vacant Properties?
USPS flags properties as vacant when mail isn’t being picked up. While someone may still live there, it often signals distress, absentee ownership, or lack of upkeep. These properties typically sell sooner than others, making them strong opportunities when handled with curiosity and care.The Right Audience
Non-owner-occupied properties flagged as vacant by USPS, with different mailing and site addresses. Focus on owners not currently picking up mail, who may be distant or disengaged, but still motivated to resolve the property situation.See How Many Vacant Properties Are in Your Market
