Driving for dollars
Hello BP! I'm a new investor in Michigan. I'm focused on wholesaling right now and decided to do some "driving for dollars" today in Wayne County. I found some great looking stuff (well great looking distressed houses) and when I tried look up the houses on the tax assessor's website, I found that I had to pay $2 per record to get the detailed info. If I only found a few houses that wouldn't be a big deal but have 60 to check out. Since I want to make driving for dollars a regular activity, I'm curious to know if anyone knows of alternative way to get to public records so I can find out who owns these houses?
Thanks!
Patrick

Give this a shot it may help you.
I'm not the originator of this tip. I found this right here on BP.
Visit USA.COM now do a search for the town you are in.
On the page that pops up there are blue tabs Basic info / population / education........ Click on the "OTHER" tab to the left this will activate a drop down menu.
Click on streets.
Now choose the street your on
Now see if the house number comes up. If so click on that.
This will give you the owners phone number.
