I found this website: https://www.luxurybath.com/ .

Purchase price: $315,000 Cash invested: $180,000 Sale price: $519,000 Purchased a SFH off an auction website and funded the rehab through an investment brokerage and private money and ultimately cashed out my 401K to finish the project. :( What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

If they started legal proceedings it would be a public record- you need correct legal name of owner and HOA and most counties in the US provide this on a website (some charge $).

I wouldn't have had the courage to make this first deal happen if it wasn't for the access to so much great information from this website. 

And so I found my own deals using the automated tools built into the listing websites.

Your friend should reach out to their local courts or look through the website.

. - Build an online brand (Company name, logo, website, company email, etc)- Connect with someone who has experience and has closed multiple deals so you can leverage their track record when reaching out to brokers. 

Don't fall for the first pretty website/email/post with a promise of great "easy passive" returns. 

... the email address shown on BP's website site was wrong, but the phone # shown was correct.  

No worries, I can pull mailing addresses off the county website, it will cost $2 per address, that is a much bigger financial commitment, and I am unsure if this is the right tack to follow.I'm not sure what my question is, but looking for some guidance from this who have done this before.
