Analyzing Deals (Calculator fill ins)

[Steven DAmbra]

So a local agent and I are literally driving for dollars around my town. We found a few distressed properties around but my question is HOW DO I FIND OUT WHO OWNS IT OR GET IN CONTACT WITH HIM/HER? also...when I do find them and talk to them I cant make an offer until I analyze it, CORRECT? So then I want to analyze to see if the ARV is good enough, but HOW DO I FIND THE NUMBERS TO PLUG INTO THE BIGGERPOCKETS ARV CALCULATOR?? Please and Thank you.

Like Henri pointed out - Google "COUNTY tax assessor" or "COUNTY tax collector" for the property you're interested in. Every county in the US has a public website that you can search to pull up previous tax bills for that property. Each tax bill will have the owner's name an mailing address.

You can try to google their name + address in the off-chance something will come up to get their phone number.

As far as finding an accurate ARV - this is challenging and would typically require you to look at comparable sales for similar properties in the same area in the last 6 months or so.
