I have a startup idea that involves offering a service to people in the U.S. who recently took out mortgages. I feel as though mailing lists of such people must be available somewhere (from the lending banks, perhaps), but I've not been able to find them. Can anybody point me in the correct direction?

Thanks.

In what country? Unfortunately, in the US this kind of harassing is legal and easy to do. In many places though such information might be restricted/privileged, and spamming or unsolicited marketing may be illegal. – littleadv Sep 20 '12 at 1:08

If you're in the US, then titles company have this information: all mortgages are recorded at the county's office and are public record, although in some cases the names aren't available if the mortgage is made in the name of a trust fund. BTW, I think you're talking about mortgagees (people or businesses, borrowers), not mortgagors (banks, lenders). – frenchie Sep 20 '12 at 3:05
