Finding the names of Home owners

[Jason M Pagan]

I am new REI but I am working HARD! So, Ive been putting together lists through driving 4 dollars and other tactics, and I have several addresses prepared to research before I start writing my letters. BUT I am having trouble finding the names of the OWNERS of these homes. I have looked to netronline.com but I just do not understand what I am seeing yet. Can anyone offer up any tips for me?

Again, to be clear, I am looking for names to go with these addresses for my yellow letters for my first mkting campaign and in need of some understanding. 

Thanks so much and I appreciate any feedback, the time and generosity for those who take a minute out of their day to read and comment. 

THANKS!!

@Jason M Pagan I'll add a bit of commentary to @Evan Bell's response.

Towns/Cities in MA typically have assessor's databases on their website. If you go to the Town's website and link to the Assessor's Department, usually its in there somewhere. Each town is a little different and some are much more obvious to locate than others, but I've been able to find them for the dozen or so towns I've searched in thus far. Once you get into the database, just search for the property and a bunch of info will be on there, including owner, mailing address and other pertinent data. Make sure you send your letter to the mailing address listed for the property in case it is tenant occupied.

Alternatively if you go to masslandrecords dot com you can search by county. I typically only use this site to research the deed and any mortgages on the property as it is quite a bit more cumbersome than the town/city databases are.

Hope that helps.
