How to locate absentee owners?

Hello BP family. So i'm two weeks in to "taking action". I am able to locate the type of properties i would like to flip. I am running into an issue with how to locate absentee owners. I am able to get the parcel information online so i am able to find out my owners name. I just don't know where to begin to locate a number; e-mail address or something to contact them. Should i mail them a "yellow letter" using the address on the properties details? My brain is telling me this would be a dead end reach as they are not located at the property. I'm lost can someone help to point me in the right direction. Thank you

Hi @Latriece Powell.  Your county assessor's office should have the mailing address for the property owner, even if it's different from the property address.

I just looked online and found that your county has this site where you can go to look up a property by address or parcel ID number: http://meckcama.co.mecklenburg.nc.us/relookup/

I tried it on a few properties in your city and was able to get the property owner's name and mailing address for all of them.
