Help! Can't Find The Owner!

[Valentina Woodson]

Hi BP friends!

I'm just starting out and I found a waterfront property that was very run down in a very affluent neighborhood. I tried to find the owners using the counties CAD but nothing is showing up. Does anyone have any other ideas on how to find them online? I left a note but was hoping to find out where they are now since the house looks completely abandoned (boarded up windows) and there is no mailbox. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

If your county has a online recorder site then you can check there for the owner. Sometimes I can't find a person on the assessor website because the assessor's office has the street name arranged a certain way that you have to play around with excluding the direction in the address, the abbreviations or making sure your spelling correct. Also try the Treasurers website to look up the address for the owner's name. Question, after you find the owner... How are you going to touch base with them?
