Many times they may be the owners.If that doesn't work, online places like your county appraisal district website may have the info you need.If all your digging comes up empty and you just have a great feeling about the property, you can try to use a skip trace service, but it costs and even if you reach them they may not want to sell.

One option that I use is online auctions of foreclosed reo properties.

There is so much technology s available today for us to find deals and find buyers online..its really a matter of knowing how to build both of these lists.In wholesaling you sell AS IS.
