Finding the owner of a property

[Isacc Lightbourn]

I was driving for dollars today and wrote down a couple addresses. However, I have no idea how to contact the owners. I was able to find their names on tax records but how can I get their phone number ? Is the only way to contact them by sending mail to that property? What if they don’t live at that property, how can I find their current residence ?

So, the cheap college student solution is to look them up on county records. There should be a physical address of the property and a mailing address. If they are the same then they are owner occupied (at least last time county records was updated). You can send them mail to the mailing address or skip trace them. There are paid services to do that or free ones like Truepeoplesearch.com . Not always accurate but the price is right.

I use and love PropStream to do all of this in one place but it’s $97 per month so might not be in your budget yet.
