By title I think you mean; the tax assessors office does not have a mailing address.
Every state/county has a superior court clerks office of the deed room. Some states/counties have ways to access those public records via a website, or is on line. Try goolgeing; your county public records. Or your county real estate deeds.
Ask a friendly title office/closing attorney how the public can access the real estate deed records?
My point is; there IS a chain of ownership in the deeds. There may be security deeds for the current owner on record. When you start reading/looking at the public records there will be names, some times mailing address, some times the LLC and the signing agent/member. Some counties like mine have a form that is accompanied with every document that gets filed called the PT-61, which has all the useful info we need. So there was a PT-61 filed when the current owners warrantee deed was filed, possible loans (security deeds).
Try googling 123 main st City state. Go into facebook and do the same search. Go to linkedin.com search on address.
Skip trace servi es like; beenverified.com have address search. I have luck with; premium.whitepages.com
@Michael Quarles Cam you elaborate a bit on this strategy? I have a vacant property that has the same mailing address on the county records as the vacant home. so I would just put a yard sign saying " who own this?" with my contact nr?
- Use free: whitepages.com and search name + city + state. Call the found numbers. Follow relatives given and call those folks.
- Subscribe to the various "skip trace services". I have and found premium.whitepages.com to give more consistent better phone numbers. beenverified.com, peoplefinders.com, premium.whitepages.com and others but there's there a limit to subbing to these services theres only so much underlying data. Any more then these given; will just be giving y9ou the same phone numbers.
Some owners you just can't find. But skip tracing and calling and calling possibile relatives you can find most owners.
Some are dead, in jail, sick in the hospital, in nursing homes etcetc.
