Driving for dollars

Hello all. I'm a newbie and I'm looking for my first deal. Interested in buy and hold SFH investment properties in the south Atlanta area. I have been driving for dollars and have found some distressed properties. How do I find out the information of the owner of the house to contact them. I have searched online but can't find a free website that offers this information. I know which brokerage company sold the house though. Should I contact them? Any information would be helpful.

@Frankie White
D4$ is a great way to get started and certainly keeps your cost low. 
The county records will show the Owner of Record for the property.

From there, you can use a free tool like True People Search or White pages to get a potential phone number or email address. However, most of this data is outdated and incorrect.

There are pay sites to get more data, sites like PropStream can give you a lot of data.
You can then pay to have the records skip traced through any number of providers.

The brokerages will not offer you that information, that would be a violation of their policies.
