How do I contact the owner of a property?

September 3rd, 2011 | posted by rvtoystore

I am a newbie. I recently invested in Dean's Rock Bottom Blueprint and have read one of his books so far "30 Days to Real Estate Cash". An ex-employee of my company would like to purchase a house that she used to own. She sold the house a couple of years ago and is interested in buying it back. She has asked me to assist her. This will be my first deal. According to Zillow.com, the property is "bank owned". Can anyone tell me how to contact the owner/bank to make an offer? Thank you for your help! Scott

Look up the county in witch the property is located. Do a property tax information look up. This area should list the bank that owns the property and all the contact information for the bank. I hope this helps.

Thank you!

Thank you very much for your info Niven3!! ..I finally just drove by the house, and the current renter was there. I had a chance to talk with her a bit, and unfortunately for me, she is happy renting and living there, so there's no reason for me to pursue that house, because the client I have lined up to buy the property wants to LIVE there, (not own it and rent it out). The good news is that I'm now looking for a different property that I can move her into. Although, I'm a bit fuzzy about how the "Double Close" actually works. I totally understand the "Assignment" method, but it's my understanding that you can not "assign" a property in California. If you have any info on that, I'd love to hear from you again!

Thanks again - and many blessings to you!

Does anyone have any feedback about "Preston Ely"

This gentleman sends me emails most everyday, offering his "Automated House-Flipping MACHINE". He claims that it's a software program that he's written that gives you houses to sell, money to buy them, cash buyers, motivated sellers ... it prints all your contracts, and even signs them for you on your laser printer. It's called "Freedom$oft". He claims that all you have to do is follow the step by step instructions, and push the buttons you're instructed to - and the software does EVERYTHING else for you. The fee? $97/month. Does anyone have any knowledge on this?

Any feedback will be most appreciated! Thank you!
