Tracking down an owner of a property what advice do you have

[Brett Danehey]

Hello All, 

I'm reaching out to you all, to ask a few questions on how to track down an owner. There's a resort area that I've seen some condos in that I'd like to purchase for short term rentals and bc I love to snowboard. Non of them are for sale but I want to test the waters of if they are open to letting it go. And possibly discuss owner financing. Does anyone have a good internet search or database they use to find owners of properties. I've tried google: "owner" "country recorder" "deed" then the address and unit numbers. But that wasnt' very fruitful. 

Thanks
