Need to find original seller!
I have a fix and flip closing on Friday this week. The original seller carried an interest free note of $12k until I resold. The phone number I have for her is no longer good and her e-mail bounced. Despite everything already in writing, the Title company wants her to write another statement detailing that she is owned $12k for her interest free loan. However, I can't seem to find this person. Any advice?

I had something similar once, we hired a private dective locally who found them for about 70 bucks. Took them about 3 hours.
They have access to databases that we don't, for example, utility company databases, phone company db, cell phone db...
of course the more info you have, the better.
