Driving 4 Dollars: Research Question
When you research a property you drive by in the tax roles. If there is a mismatch between the owner address and property address, could that indicate a rental unit or an owner financed property?
For example
Owner Address: 123 Spring Road
Property Address: 345 Main Street
I was driving the otherday and stumbled upon this house shown below. It looked incredibly vacant. Overgrown, newspapers piled up on the front door, a boarded up window (not shown). I introduced myself to the neighbor to confirm it was vacant, and to my surprise the neighbor said it was occupied, someone lived there currently. This property also showed a mismatch between owner and property address in the tax rolls.
