Best software to find up to date tenant’s for a building?
So I’m an intern this summer doing research trying to find property owner info and who the current tenants are.  I’ve been using costar and found that a lot of the info in their tenant section is inaccurate or old.  Is there a best way to find this info with or without costar?
[{"id": "ibm3orx", "text": "Ownership info will be recorded in title, which costar has, and tenant info you can get by walking buildings and recording who is at the directory, or googling addresses and then calling to verify. Sometimes I will check LinkedIn or other job boards to see which companies are hiring in a given location, if they are hiring they may be outgrowing their spaces. \n\nCongratz for the costar info is shit right of passage. Ask your senior broker how much they are paying for it and then you will realize what a racket it is.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "ibn0lbf", "text": "Most 3rd party sites like CoStar or ProspectNow won't give you direct info on who tenants are. But they often have the holding company info and/or the registered agent's name. You can take the property's address and/or agent name and plug it into its county clerk's website.  That sometimes finds you the actual owner and sometimes the number of tenants.\n\nThe best way to find the number of tenants and even the specific tenants is to find the website for a specific building, NOT the website of the company that owns the building. Unfortunately, it's unlikely they'll have that displayed unless they're an A class mixed use property. \n\n&amp;#x200B;\n\nOther than what I wrote above I'd trust the other comment here and say boots on the ground and calls will get you the farthest. good luck on your internship", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "ibn98pp", "text": "Google maps is probably the most reliable. You can even footnote your research with the month and year from Streetview", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "ibrkxm9", "text": "Thanks for the advice everyone!  Seems like everyone is saying \u201cboots on the ground\u201d is the best method and I believe so too.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
