Unable to find Owner information in Local County Assessor

[Ahmed Sublaban]

Hello everybody,

I've been looking to switch my strategy up temporarily until the market cools down in my area, and finding off market deals by contacting absentee owners. I will be sending letters to homes as I use the drive for dollars strategy. I am living in the San Joaquin county in California and noticed I am unable to receive specific information on owners. From everything I read, I understand that it would be accessible through there. If I am missing something, please let me know. I am looking at homes in Lodi, Stockton, Galt, Elk Grove and possibly Sacramento. Any information would be great. Thank you!

@ahmed sublaban Hi Ahmed, since you should have access to the local MLS, you should be able to click on the APN number if the party is active to retrieve the owners mailing address from the tax records. If its an off-market property, I would contact your favorite local Title Rep and provide them an area of interest and they can provide you all of the property owner mailing address on a spreadsheet... then you can simply narrow down the owners that are absentee to target. Good luck!
