The information may be available in the county's appraisal district. You can search online for the exact site pertaining to your county. The information may appear when you search for the address. If not then see if the site has a section for 'property tax delinquents' and go from there. Please let me know if this information helps you.

Welcome to BP! I hope you find much success on your real estate investing endeavors.  I am a newbie myself from the Houston area.  Currently I am wholesaling but eventually I would like to move into rehabbing SF homes.

Don't give up! That is the most important thing first.  We all go through frustrations finding motivated sellers as I too fell victim to this discouragement.  Many others initially make it seem to newbies that it is easier to find motivated sellers then we actually come to find out during our marketing efforts.  In any event it takes much work and trial and error in life to find the right recipe that works best for you.  I recommend taking some time to mentally decompress so you don't quickly get burnt out.   Then maybe try expanding your marketing efforts to social media via Youtube videos, FB, Twitter, etc.  Also if you write the same message on every letter then maybe try altering what you put in the letters to see if that works better for you.  You can also try driving for dollars which is basically driving in areas and picking out properties that look distressed.  There are many ways out there to market and you can always create your own way.  What works for one person will not always work for others depending on the context and other variables of the situation.  

The old saying goes "there is more than one way to skin a cat".  So don't allow yourself to get angry and frustrated, just use that as ammo to keep trying until you reach your goals.  Every failure we endure brings us one step closer to a success.  

I have many entrepreneurial aspirations. So the day came for me once I realized that I could fund my own ideas through wealth created from real estate. It is known that most self-proclaimed millionaires got their wealth from real estate. And for me, my real estate passions fall right in line with the lifestyle I would like to live. I love to travel so one day I would like to invest in vacation rentals. Until that day I am keeping myself busy learning and utilizing other investment strategies and niches such as wholesaling and probates.

Hey BP Fam! I've been checking out this site for some time and finally signed up! This site seems very resourceful and I am excited about taking full advantage of it. I am a newbie wholesale investor in Houston. I have a lot of aspirations for building my real estate business and invite any connections. My background is in Accounting but real estate has captured my attention full force. I look forward to learning from one another and enhancing my knowledge in REI. Yours truly... Diamond D :)
