Hello to everyone who views and replies to this post. I've recently been very active in my newly real estate investing journey, and I've came across a bump... I drove around neighborhoods (driving for dollars) and collected a good amount of addresses. the problem i am having is finding the owner of these properties. What source/site is best used for finding owners of properties ? I have heard of skip tracing and some good sites for that but when going to those sites, they need you to upload list with the owners name and information already on it, i need to find a good source to find who is ever has ownership of a certain property.. any suggestions would be great, thank you.

I did a google search for peoria county appraisal district. This is not the appraisal district, but it works. There is usually the tax assessor office and the appraisal office, sometimes they are the same office.

When you find the owners are listed at a different address, go visit them. Ask them if they are looking to sell that old house on XX street. If they are not interested, leave a card and ask them to let you know if they change their mind.

Planting seeds is what you are doing. Planting them all over the county. You may get a deal or two quick, but most likely it will take 6 months to a year before someone decides they want to sell.

Keep planting seeds everyday!!!
