To locate a property owner, you can typically visit your local county recorder's office or the tax assessor's office.

Do right by them and word spreads, momentum is built and eventually you are raising money from PE firms, family offices etc. if you care to grow beyond your personal network's means. 

*Online Directories are only available for or useful for loans/borrowers in an active foreclosure where there has been a public filing in court or the recorder's office.

Are any one plus an office or all the same?

Also work with trusted lenders, look for reviews, etc .. since there are many unqualified loan officers pushing term sheets to get you to pay for an appraisal and switch the terms on you at the very last minute.

Hey all, Feds cut rates by a quarter point today.  Rate cuts tend to boost buyer affordability, but with current home prices, are we really going to see that kind of relief in cash flow anytime soon?

Ashley, if you are still a naval spouse, I would suggest the next time you are relocated that you consider buying a house via a VA loan wherever you end up stationed (excluding San Diego because it is too expensive) and do this every time you move. 

Quote from @Vishal Chandan: I am about 25 days from closing on my first investment property and the mortgage loan officer wants me to keep my credit unfrozen (from all 3 credit bureaus) till the day of closing.

I just started my direct mail campaign and it took a whole Sunday (3:30-9PM) to do 200 letters and this was about as automatic as the average Joe could get:Printed Yellow letters using Officejet printer (Paper from Amazon)Printed envelopes using the same printer (Envelopes from Dollar Store)Bought 400 forever stamps from the Post Office to create the "genuine" effectStill, folding and stuffing papers was an extremely underestimated variable.

If you are close then just go to office and pickup the check.
