yea i wouldnt count on a website.....i would use the county records.....and news paper info as its generally posted in the news paper......if you can get them at the NOD you will be great......NOS you gotta work a lot faster but still can be done....I would start working on building my mindset.......selling.....rebutals.....building rapport.....etc.... but like someone else said youre better off skiptracing first and calling and use door knocking as last resort.....Keep a big colorful notepad with you or make some doorhangers that stick out with your info on it...
