Owner phone number contact information

[Patrick Flanagan]

Hey there,

As I'm sifting through LLC and owners of apartment complexes, I have a hard time tracking down a owners phone number. I even looked up my info on whitepages and it has a wrong number listed from when I was 18.

I’m not great with direct mail letters and get little to no responses… they are also time consuming. if I could shoot a owner a phone call to have a sit down meeting with them or just over the phone. I’m trying to build a relationship with them and learn how they got to where they are. 

Thanks,

Pat

@Patrick Flanagan, is there a for lease sign on the property with a phone number? If not, does that same LLC own multiple properties in the area, and the others have for lease signs?

Talk to some tenants, see if they have the manager or owner's number.  As Melissa noted, someone knows who the owner is, and can get ahold of them.

Also, just to clarify, the reason people use direct mail is because even though you feel like it takes a lot of time to get no responses, it is still faster than doing all of this research to still get 99+% "not interested in selling".  While I have never done call campaigns at scale, I have done a few dozen on specific properties I like, and even though I have connected with about 80% of these calls, I still got 100% no's.  The point being, off market deals will always be a very, very low conversion rate.  You are intentionally targeting people that do not have any desire to sell (I say "any desire", because the barriers to listing a property is VERY low and the seller can't even come to that point).
