Are abandoned propertys a good source for wholesaling.if so how to you find the owner from homes that been abandoned for long time.are there any free resources and what are they.

I think friends and family can be a good source, also we've talked with some of our wholesale buyers about them becoming a private lender for us.

They are based on the property appraiser value, based solely on comp sales, not your purchase price.  

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.

But if you actually read the FCRA, it covers all third party sources of information, so if you get eviction or criminal reports from a third party rather than getting those from the courthouse yourself, then the FCRA applies and a letter complying with the provisions of the FCRA is in order. 

I was involved in purchasing a property and our lending source fell through.

Whereas, my friend Sam may be a full time investor and be willing to take anything with an ROI over 12%.The bottom line is that I never throw out a lead based solely on how closely it aligns to the mythical 70% Rule.  

For example i have great credit and money to invest but haven't had the time to source for deals to invest in so im keeping an eye out for those with deals looking to partner.
