What I'm doing is researching and finding absentee owners via the county property assessors websites.

Don't rely on a general discussion website for legal advice.

Hello everyone, Sales history of many properties on Broward County Appraiser's website is $100.

Thank you for putting all the work you put into your book and your content on this site! 

Dear Fellow Investors,I'm trying to learn the basics of calculating a real estate deal and I've checked my local County Assessor's Website to calculate the Annual Property Tax but what I'm having trouble running into is figuring out the Tax Rate Levy.

Of course I've used google and found a ton of websites and things but I'm wondering what resources and trending patterns you all have found to be exceptionally helpful when learning the ins and outs of your markets and sub-markets. 

I assume the reason why this was addressed this way is because it was less than 3 weeks after the quitclaim was recordedChecked again today on 7/23/2018 on the Cook County Treasurer website.

What source/site is best used for finding owners of properties ?

Have you looked on the county assessor site for an owner?

As I said before, there is opportunity here, but there are also a lot of "cheap" old buildings whose locations are even of little value.But you are correct, in the past months, we've seen a lot more "money from away" coming to town and buying buildings "site-unseen".
