Try these two web pages.

If you decide to make all the paperwork a good start might be to visit the web of the Secretary of State in California ( http://www.sos.ca.gov/).

I would recommend a couple of other books, very cheap on Amazon and other web sites.That $50,000 would buy you a rental in many US markets. 

So I've come to the conclusion wholesaling is the best option for me, right now.Where I'm at now: I've compiled an absentee owners list from my county web-site, and I'm hoping the data is a little more up-to-date than the list services. 

I've been pulling some from the web but I'm just trying to make sure that I'm thinking of everything.

Hi @Kyle Snoozyhave you tried your local county / city web site they should have information on the property.

I spoke with one attorney who said to just appeal directly to the county - so I did through their web site but they denied my request after looking at what ever "they" looked at.

I've since found some great web resources for Subject To's.  

Also you can search for the tax parcel number on your country web site to see if you can find the owner's new address. 

Thanks @Ethan Atkinson I went on the web site but couldn't find the one in Marietta but I'll try to make it on the one in Norcross if I can.
