Thanks 4 sharing!!!!!!!!!! Continued success.........Lubertha

Thank you for the info. I am liked you, I am working backwards, I need buyers for some of the killers deals I am finding, I must not let that stop me from making offers, but I have not money to invest or good credit. Right now I am working on FSBOs and lease options...I found buyers and investors in craighlist and send some emails but have not heard from anyone yet, this will will me a great lead because I am sitting on two foreclosures across my home which I rent and needed an idea how to contact the accessor office so you have giving me the motivation to go and speak to him about these properties.

thanks

Max-a million

Just like Carol mentioned. Some states & counties are different the way you are able to look it up in your county. I tried doing it even with a street name search & nothing comes up, I'm in Cumberland County. Let me know if you find anything....thanks!

What is your County's Name and in what state?? I will try to search for an online database for you, maybe you were looking in the wrong place.

Also, I believe you can just go to your County's clerks office and ask where the Tax Assessor is, then ask then how to get access to parcel information. You might need to know what address or name you want to look up ahead of time, but I am not certain on this. Maybe just try asking to see a list of all properties owned by LLC's.

Hope this helps!

Hey that is an awesome idea. I'm going to check this out for VA!!!

Thanks again,

BUT WHAT IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AN ACTUAL CONTRACT FOR THESE PROPERTIES THEN HOW WOULD THE APPROACH BE? YOUR INFO IS VERY USEFUL BUT NEED A DIFFERENT ASPECT OF IT.

What exactly do you mean have a contract for these properties? This technique she shared with us is only for research purposes. It shouldn't involve any contracts.

You use this to build a buyers list, simply search for the term "LLC" in the Name field. And it should give you a list of all the properties owned by LLC's. Then just contact the various LLC's and ask them if they would be interested in being added to your buyers list. Then ask what kind of properties they would like to buy from you, then you go try and find those!

Hope this helps!

Bumping this thread.

Still curious to how you find these guys' phone numbers or emails once you find the LLC's name. A Google search didnt seem to cut it for me

Thanks!

I found out this is true in MI also. Thank God for WWW. makes things easier to find (sometimes). Glad you found this path and willingness to share!

Destrie,
Congratulations on getting your buyers list the way you did. That was good thinking and you now have one of your first organizational tasks done already. Now build on that momentum and best of luck to you.

Go to 411.com Type in the name, city, and state...if it's listed then it will be in there

Destrie

Congratulations and thanks for sharing this info to us all.

My sons and I have been slow at getting our buyers list up. Thanks for sharing your success. We are familiar with the assessors office so this should be easy for us. Let you know how it goes for us.

This is a really great idea I just cannot figure out how to do it on my counties website. The link is posted below, could someone please help?

Thank you!

Thanks for the reply! I checked out 411.com and didn't have much success finding any of the business's phone numbers. Should I just search for the address then call the resident and ask them for the owners number?

Thanks

Jen I checked it out, I couldnt figure out how to do a search by name. But you do have a great tool in there: Sales Search

This can be used to find FMV, as well as possibly finding some buyers (if it lists who bought the property). I didn't look into this tool too much but it looks nice.

You might want to go down or call the county's office and ask if you can do a search for parcel by name, and just explain what you are trying to do.

Thanks

Thanks for finding that for me! I will def look at this at a more detailed level and use it to my advantage.

Thanks again!

Find the office that advertise the DBA filings. Call them and ask if they also advertise the "DEEDS of TRUST" on their Business Professioanl Newspaper. Then ask how often do they publish the Paper. Acquire the LIST (Business Professionla Newspaper) then go to the COUNTY RECORDERS Office and research it. Find the buyers name and address, ... then find the contact phone. Here is an example:

Bill Clinton & Hillary Clinton TO Barack Obama & Michelle Obama ($275,685)
lot 75 bk 12 pg 23 2009 Pennsylvania av, Washington DC (PROPERTY ADDRESS)
George Washington Bank ... (financed thru)
1234 Pentagon st, Charlotte NC, 28255 (bank address)

Bill Clinton Trust Co. TO Barack Obama & Michelle Obama ($275,685)
lot 75 bk 12 pg 23 2009 Pennsylvania av, Washington DC (PROPERTY ADDRESS)
George Washington Bank ... (financed thru)
1234 Pentagon st, Charlotte NC, 28255 (bank address)

NOW research ALL the names or company name that appears above as an example. Observe if they are purchasing multiple properties and make sure they don't have any Notice Of Default. Make sure to browse thru all the pages. (I came across 20 investor IRA names at the last page when browsing thru the entire page/file. So ... you never know what is at every page/file.) Also IF you are new to this do not exactly know the terminologies ... here is what you do. Google the following and its definition, print it out and bring it with you when you go to the county recorders office to do reasearch based on this strategy.
(grantor, grantee, trustor, trustee, deed of trust, conveyance{loan paid in full}, reconveyance, grant deeds, warranty deeds, quitclaim deeds, to have a complete definitions is good before you go to the county recorders office.) Also cross reference the names on the deed of trusts... you just never know. You might find a very valuable name at the bottom of it all like I did with the IRA names. When done with this call them and get their investment parameters. When done ...pick up the next list and do the same thing again. I hope this helps to your success.

-------------
Don't let any wall stand in your way, either go thru it or go around it. Find a way thru ...

Just another great bit of usable information that this site allows its members to provide for all members to use in their REI careers. A BIG THANK YOU for your post and I will for sure add it to my procedure on building my buyers list here in Phoenix, AZ. My family and I are originally from Washington, Iowa and I am familiar with the housing situation there and if you can make it work I know that I can make it work also.

Thanks again and GO HAWKEYE'S !!!!!!

Hello Destrie,
This is really great information. I go to the County Ass. site to find out owners of properties.
My question is how did you get the names of the investors which you searched for information on?

any help is greatly appreciated.

Call the assessors office and ask for the tax information website or go to the assessors office personally and ask. Success be with you. Keith

Hi Jenna - I think I may have found a workaround for searching the website by name. I used the link you supplied, then went to the 'recorded documents' menu option.

Once there, I searched for any with document type 'deed' between jan 1 2009 and today. I found a company named 'sentinel investments llc'. I returned to the search criteria page and entered 'sentinel investments' with only the date criteria filled in besides. Looks like they bought two properties this year.

You can view the actual documents as pdf's or tiff's.

I would search for deeds, trust deeds, etc., writing down any names of companies you want to look for, then go back and search by the specific names of the companies or individuals you're interested in.

Looks like the search engine doesn't use very fuzzy logic. Searching for llc or l l c doesn't give results, I'm assuming because the company names don't start with these. However, searching for investment yielded a lot or results, all for companies starting with investment.

I hope this helps.

Keep the faith!
Pat

destrie, great information will try this for houston co. GA.
