Down the rabbit hole: spending all day tracking down a property "owner"

Down the rabbit hole: spending all day tracking down a property "owner"

20 Calls later, with no less than 10 government agencies tacked on to the end, I end up with a final "I don't know what to tell you sir, we down own that property."

I see why people pay people to do this now. :roll:

I literally spent 6 hours today and 4 hours yesterday actually on the phone talking to "people", trying to figure out who "owns" this house. This isn't even counting pulling up all the documents, recorded contracts, liens and emails sent back and forth with everything from title companies to government agents.

All the gurus say, "the best house you want, is vacant and boarded up. those are the cash cows." Sure if the mortgage company is not indicted on federal charges and its owner sent to prison for 11 years. :oops:

I had decided that I would go down my list and make sure I got ahold of all the property owners of each property, and not give up until I did. This beauty was the first on my list.

If you ever find the owner of this house, give him my e-mail. I want to take lessons from him. :idea:
