How to find multifamily properties through public records?

I’m trying to figure out how to search county records to locate properties of 10-50 units in Sacramento, CA. http://www.assessor.saccounty.net/MapsPropertyDataAndRecords/Pages/Assessor'sRecords.aspx

Has anyone had success pulling up this type of information from public records? If so would love some guidance.

God bless,

Arturo

@Arturo Colmenero you could try referencing zoning maps to look for multi family pockets but your best bet would be to subscribe to a service like Reonomy for example if you’re serious about finding multi family properties

    Thank you Troy.  I'm initiated a free trial and have a call with a rep to see if they are able to provide what I'm looking for.  Do you do residential or commercial real estate?

    Hi Arturo,

    Another option is to locate apartments on Apartments.com. If you just search "Sacramento, CA," you'll find thousands and thousands of apartments. I'd recommend narrowing your search to a submarket or neighborhood in Sacramento.

    Then, if you want to find the owner information, you can look up the apartment address on the assessor site.

    As @Theo Hicks mentioned, Apartments.com is a great way to find apartment buildings in a specific area. If you have any real estate friends (anyone who works in real estate) ask them to call a title company they have a relationship with and get a list of these properties - they can run it for you. OR subscribe to something like Costar (which is very expensive) or I think there are some CRM hybrid property databases out there. If you're local, get in your car and start driving! Plenty of creative ways to find apartment buildings.

    All great information.  Will be looking to apply.  Just got done refinancing an 86 unit property we have owned for a while and some business partners are looking to syndicate apartment deals, have a couple of LOIs agreed upon, just looking for ways to access more opportunities.
