So i been driving for dollars lately and i've been sending out letters to the absentee owners for those vacant properties but theres a couple of houses i been trying to figure out where the owners are. I searched in Property Appraisers, property shark, and any source of information where i can find the owners current address or any type of contact info but all i get is that address where the house is vacant but obviously no one lives there, kinda strange but i would like to hear from experts on how you find property owners because im new to this and been trying to get my first deal under agreement to wholesale. Any advice would be great and much appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Hey there just came across this deal and i usually have a broker to help me with comps but the thing is that she doesn't always have time to review my new leads but either way im thankful for it. Reason for this post is Major help for reviewing and whats the best way and where i can gather comps. I heard going to County tax appraisers is the most efficient way and its just how should i compare them, is there any webistes i can go to and buy the comps ? what helps you the best way and how do you compare ? 

Thanks for any replies and have a productive day :) 

-Kevin.

Ocala Florida. Hey there my name is Kevin i been WHOLESALING for about a month and WOW!! couple calls coming in with my bandit signs i put out with hard work late at night and midnight but all of a sudden calls start dying out for some reason. When i check this specific area i put my signs around BAM!! gone and the remains of my signs that were ripped off when i stapled them to the wooden utility poles, it wasnt on private property either for the owner to come and rip it off which would be understandable and something i wouldnt do, SO what im guessing is another wholesaler who thinks that area is only his because out of all these other signs and service stuck on the ground and nailed to the utility poles only mine was ripped off, which pisses me off to another level and to also mention that my sign was the only one that had to deal with Real Estate. After putting my signs a couple days later i realized on the other side of street there was another bandit sign, not pointing any fingers but it makes me want to call this person and ask them if they're the ones whos doing this, worse enough if these wholesalers in my area are making a good profit off this they should stop bringing down someones hard work to have less competition considering the fact that im alone and still havent made a single dollar in this business. It just upsets me how there would be people like this out there who try to wipe out "competitors" instead of calling me and asking me to partner up since I DID have a couple leads and would be a rational thing to do but i dont care cause im very passionate in the rewards that Real Estate can bring me or in my future but i know theres another way. Should i call up for sale by owner signs and try to wholesale those type of deals ? theres alot of things i dont know yet but i have come across mad sellers after i offer them my offer but either way move on to the next deal huh ? the more i get into this business the more i learn but it would be nice to have someone with experience guide me. My market is Ocala FL and this is my journey so far. Wish me a good one. - Kevin Prieto
