How can I track down an apartment owner to pitch a offer?
I have called the property management and they just tell me "we'll leave info, but they don't have to call you back". I completely understand this and why they do it. My question is what other avenues can I go about this? I would love to find out who own's the apartment behind mine so I can send him a offer. Thanks!

Here is the approach I use:\n\n1. Go to www.netronline.com \n2. Click on \"public records online\"\n3. Select the state \n4. Select the county \n5a. Click on the link for the assessors data \n5b. If the assessors data is not online I will call the county and ask a clerk in the office. They will usually pull up the information for you and tell you over the phone.\n6. Search the county assessor for the property - it should have the person or entity listed that owns the property.\n7. If it is a corporation that owns the property, pull up the states corporation database - this should show you the registered agent for the corporation\n8. Google/411/Zaba search the owner for contact info\n\nSometimes if I can't find info I will pull deeds and loan docs. (I use real quest for this, this costs money I believe but my company has a subscription for it)\n\nHope this helps. ", "replies": [{"id": "cmxeo5x", "text": "Wow thank you.
