How to get property owners contact information

[Grayson Grzybowski]

I am having a really hard time getting in touch with property owners. How is it that I can obtain a person phone number to reach out to them regarding their home?

I search the property on the county website, I look up the information on a tax website, I search their names via google, IG, or FB. How is it I can hear all these people talk about "COLD CALLING" yet I spend hours searching for something that seems impossible to find?! 

Does getting a subscription to "white pages" provide accurate information of peoples numbers? I am willing to pay money as long as I can ask people about their homes. 

I REALLY HOPE SOMEONE CAN GIVE ME A GOOD STEP BY STEP WAY TO DO THIS! I feel like I am getting nowhere in my real estate career without it.

THANKS!
