There are plenty of ways to find the owners of that little jewel you just found.  We will go over the ones I use the most in this blog.  The first thing you want to do is ask the neighbors around the house.  Tell them you’re an investor in the area and hand them your business card then ask them if they know who owns the house, if they know where the owners live now or have their phone number.  If they seem hesitant tell them your going to ask everyone on the block and the first one that gives you the info will give 20 dollars.

The next thing I do is go to my county web site.  Go to your tax assessor’s site on the county web site.  There you can put in the address and the property will come up.  From there you can find out the property owners name and where the taxes are being sent to.  This is also a good place to find out additional information about the property.

At this point you can either go to the address were the taxes are being sent to and talk with the owner.  See if you can get their phone number from the white pages.

You could put them on your post card list and start sending them post cards.  I make sure to send them 4 post cards in 6 weeks.

If you can’t get their info from the county web site you can send a post card with (Address service requested) on the post card. If none of that works you can go to www.HomeInfoMax.com and for about 20 bucks you can get their info.  Although I would recommend you exhaust all other avenues first.

Good Luck,
