I tried using the internet to find the owner of 2 off market multi family units I was interested in, but I'm not getting the info I need. Can anyone share how they go about doing this?
Like @Austin Fruechting said, tax records; on or off line... if it's owned by a LLC, then you need to look it up on the SCC website, do a skip trace if needed, etc. Sleuthing skills required.
I once was trying to find the owner of a 300 unit building.. All roads lead back to the the on sight PM office. Finally I plucked out a name of someone who had filed some paperwork that was not an attorney... That name was one of his kids, and from that, I was able to connect back to the guys entire life history via an obituary that listed his children's names, as well as find his home where his widow lives, which then let me skip trace all his kids addresses, and their many x-husbands, x-wives, and homes, to finally wrangle them into having a conversation with us about selling the complex. One of the hardest deals I have ever worked on. It took months to find everyone and paint the entire picture of who was the key players.
Checkout Zillow, if you can pull up the property you can then look at the Owner data. They provide a link back to the data source, which will have more details, such as mailing address. Good luck!
Try "parcelfact". You get 5 free pulls to try it. Just sign up, fill in county/apn or street address and voila. Maps, owners name, address, purchase price, date of recording, parcel details, legal, size, zoning, & more.
Thank you Jill, did get some info on owner names off of tax payers office, Trulia gave me some last purchase prices. Yet other off market properties I couldn't find last purchase prices on so I really appreciate that info. Have a great day!
