posted almost 3 years agoHello All:
I've seen this question asked and haven't really found the answer to the question.
I find the address of the owner of the property but usually can't find the phone number. I use to find it on the internet through white pages but now everyone has a cell phone instead of a land line and those aren't listed. Even white pages will show a phone number and its a paid site before they allow you to see the number.
Since I can't my info Free which paid site is worth the money?
I've been investing for over 10 years and also have a Realtors license and I still have the same problem...getting the golden number.
Experiences and reviews of paid sites please. Thank you for your time.
Great $uccess!

replied about 1 year agoTry out homemetry.com, I've been looking for some older properties and have had decent luck finding numbers on there and it's free! It definitely depends on where you're looking but most older home that have been owned by the same person for years have good info!

replied about 1 year agoI'm attempting the same thing, I just requested a number from here for $55 http://www.frankahearn.com/about.html
I also just got an email back from uccweb.com and they said it's $50 for a cell phone, I'll try them next. I've got a couple of homes locally that I feel confident I can get if I can find the owners.

replied about 1 year ago@Tony Battle I'm open to cheaper options but the reality is $55 to make 50k is nothing. I'll PM you but why not just post in the forum so other's can see?

replied about 1 year agoI was able to get a number for the property, I'm on my cell and don't have the link but if interested send me a pm or reply. Unfortunately no luck in purchasing the property yet, uncle died and nephew wants to rehab and rent it but he lives out of state. I think there is a chance once he sees the condition of the property he will change his mind so I will be following up.

They can also tell you about the house's conditions which its very useful when considering purchasing it. You may also go to city/town/county hall and ask information about property. Normally you can check in the tax commissioner and probate court. Try to gather as much information about the property including the name of title owner and liens of the property.

Hi Andrew, I read a lot of threads on BP trying to find out who other's were using. I ended up using https://www.frankahearn.com/find however It is $75 so I would find a cheaper option if you have a high number of leads. I only had 2, found one and gave up on the other due to the situation with the ownership I could track down through local tax records.
