The trust owns the property, but because there is no public registry of trusts, all someone would know is the name of the trust and the name of the trustee.

Although cold calling would allow you to cover more ground in less time and expense, don't throw caution to the wind with respect to the do not call registry/laws (unless you have an extra 10K lying around).Regards,Scott Miller

WHAT IS THE RENT REGISTRY?

If it is they'll have it on their registry and be able to advice you on what you need to do to keep it that way.

It is the step that protects you against fraud and other fraudulent practices, like one of my mentors will say “ensure to check all checkable “.Your Realtor and your lawyer should be able to assist greatly in this as this is why you are paying them, they should help you verify the tittles on the land, ascertain the real owners from both the land registry and the traditional registry and ensure you are not buying government land or land in dispute.(9)TAKE IMMEDIATE POSSESSION:- Always insist on taking immediatepossessionof your propertythat’s why I always advocate for people to buy from real estate companies doing immediate allocation., insist on collecting all your documents immediately so as to forestall falling prey to confidence trickstersCONCLUSSIONJust take action today, Contact a realtor and kick start Investment in landed property.

Don't expect you'll get anything, here are the facts, it is his contract, he has favors, you don't have clear draws or scope of work with prices, you don't have lien waivers, you dont have daily timesheets, supplier/subcontractor registry, pretty much you don't have anything but he said i said.

Follow the new laws, run the numbers through the Do Not Call registry. 

Specifically, section 5107 of the SAFE Act, entitled “Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Backup Authority to Establish a Loan Originator Licensing System†provides that after the time periods for compliance allowed by the statute, if the “Secretary determines that a State does not have in place by law or regulation a system for licensing and registering loan originators that meets the requirements of sections 5104 and 5105 and subsection (d) of [section 5107], or does not participate in the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry, the Secretary shall provide for the establishment and maintenance of a system for the licensing and registration by the Secretary of loan originators operating in such State as State-licensed loan originators.†HUD’s review of state compliance is limited to sections 5104, 5105 and 5107(d).

It's safer to send a letter when contacting someone if the contact was not solicited.http://realtormag.realtor.org/sales-and-marketing/feature/article/2003/11/answers-your-national-do-not-call-registry-questionsGood luck!
