California focused private real estate investment firm acquiring 5–50 unit multifamily properties ($3M–$15M). We buy directly from owners. Your job is to build the prospect lists that feed our acquisitions pipeline. The Role You will research, compile, and skip-trace lists of multifamily properties (5–50 units) in our target counties that show one or more motivated-seller signals: Pre-foreclosure — Notice of Default (NOD) and Notice of Trustee Sale (NTS) filings from county recorder records Probate — recent probate filings in county superior courts where the estate includes multifamily property Vacancy distress — high vacancy indicators (USPS vacancy flags, utility shutoffs, boarded/registered vacant properties, low occupancy per data providers) Upcoming debt maturity — loans originated 2018–2022 approaching maturity or rate reset; loan origination date, lender, and approximate balance from recorded deeds of trust Tax delinquency — properties on county delinquent property tax rolls Code violations / municipal liens — open code enforcement cases or recorded city liens. Lis pendens — pending litigation affecting title (partnership disputes, divorce) Out-of-state owners — owners with mailing addresses outside California; highest priority when combined with 15+ year hold or any other signal on this list Absentee / long-term in-state owners — 50+ mile absentee owners, 15+ year hold periods, original purchase basis far below current value Failed listings — expired or withdrawn multifamily listings in the last 24 months Receivership / REO / lender-owned — court-appointed receiver filings and bank-owned multifamily in target counties Estate, divorce, and partnership dissolution — LLC dissolutions filed with the CA Secretary of State, divorce filings tied to multifamily title, partnership disputes Any other strategy that surfaces distressed or motivated sellers — insurance non-renewals, utility liens, eviction-related distress, failed 1031 exchanges, deferred-maintenance flags.
