How to Track Down an Owner When The Ph. Numbers at TLO Dont Work?

[Burt L.]

I saw a boarded up house in a very valuable are, and its owners address is listed at the same house.

When running a report at TLO, it gives me phone numbers that don't work, and there are no other previous addresses or relatives still living, in the TLO report.

 I have hit a dead-end here. Have you any other suggestions on how to reach such a person? I haven't knocked on doors as someone is doing a flip right next door and I want to create competition. I have also seen Sean Terry's suggestion of putting a "for sale" sign in the front yard, until the unhappy owner calls to see why you are selling his house, but my phone would blow-up on this house.

Any other ideas on tracking people down? I don't know if a private detective could get better info than TLO.

Check out Nexis.com as well. Sometimes it has different numbers then TLO. Also if you look into any mortgages or deed transfers you might get a different address listed on them. Could give you another avenue to go down. Do the owners have any other property? Also check where the tax bill is going to if you can.

If you send me the info I would be happy to do some research for you tomorrow. (don't worry I have no intention on investing out in CO, my primary job is related to finding owners)
