Quick Question - How to Find Absentee Owners and/or Owners of Distressed Properties
Hello again BP Fam,
I was wondering what I can use to find out the current address(es) and phone number(s) of said distressed property owner, should they not reside in the property itself. Is there some kind of online private investigation resource? I know it sounds like a sort of lame question, though I'm a noob
Also, is it wise to do a full title search BEFORE or AFTER my investor buyer sees the property as a "good deal"?
Thank You,
Patrick
