Assessor's Website and finding owner information

[Benjamin Barredo]

Hello,

Ben Barredo here in Knoxville, TN. I am planning to dive into finding deals and trying to break into the REI world through Wholesaling. I have a plan for driving for dollars but I need to know how to find the owners of these homes. I watched a Youtube video about how to drive for dollars and it recommends using your local Assessor website but I've been searching Google for thirty minutes and typing my own address in to see what comes up and I keep getting nothing.

Can anyone help? I really want to learn to do this stuff on my own without paying for services because I have NO MONEY to invest right now - hence the wholesaling.

I'm too hyped up to wait until next weeks REI meeting in town, so I'm hoping someone can tell me something on here.

Any ways to find owner information for direct mail approaches would be much appreciated.

Additionally, if you can send me some samples of scripts for direct mail marketing, that would be helpful as well. What to include, what not to include, how to introduce myself, etc. Should I be specific, "I'm looking for houses to sell to rehabbers, or B&H investors." or what?

Thanks a lot. I love this community btw. I spend more time on here than Facebook lately.
