Finding Owners for vacant houses

Account Closed

So i been driving for dollars lately and i've been sending out letters to the absentee owners for those vacant properties but theres a couple of houses i been trying to figure out where the owners are. I searched in Property Appraisers, property shark, and any source of information where i can find the owners current address or any type of contact info but all i get is that address where the house is vacant but obviously no one lives there, kinda strange but i would like to hear from experts on how you find property owners because im new to this and been trying to get my first deal under agreement to wholesale. Any advice would be great and much appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Google (Name of County) Recorders office, or (Name of County) Tax Assessors office.

There should be a place to find out if records are online, if they are you should be able to input the address and get records or at least the type of records filed. Most only show partial information and you have to go physically to the court house (or hire someone) to get the rest of the info and print out pages if necessary,  If you cannot find it on the website call the offices.

Also just Googling the address might bring up names of residents, one might be the owner.

It really does vary by state and county. Amazing what info you can get!

Good luck and don't give up!!
