Sourcing Property Owner Information

[Michael M Tingen]

Hi there Wholesale Investors!,

My wife and I, both architects by day, are taking a deep dive into wholesaling and are aiming to start pursuing deals this July. We will be aggressively pursuing single and multi-family properties. 

We have some experience doing this in the DC area as well. However, I noticed that in DC it's really easy to locate property owner info simply by looking at the online property tax records. These don't seem to be as readily available in L.A. County. 

So my question is: How/ where do you search for property owners names/ information. Are there public records that are readily available online? If not, are there private services in LA that can provide this info for a fee?

Thank you so much for any and insights!
