Private Investigator
I am looking for suggestions for a private investigator to try to track down owners of vacant houses. I focus on vacant houses. When I find one I always door knock the neighbors to see if they know anything about the owners. I run reports through Accurint to locate them or friends or family. I review the county marriage and divorce records along with the grantee/grantor index. I have about 12 houses that I just can't anything on. They are behind in their taxes and the county can't find them either so they just appoint a Attorney Ad Litem. I am hopeful that a good PI has better skills and access to better data than I do. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thank You
