How do I search public property records?

November 21st, 2010 | by admin |

With the housing market forcing home prices down I have been aggressively investing in real estate but with the amount of leads I’m working with I don’t have the time to manually lookup public property records at a courthouse. How do I easily search public property records to find the owner information, value of the house, tax liens and other information I need to make a decision on whether the property is a good investment or not? Thanks in advance!

Sounds like you’re doing things the "old way". I remember I use to do all my lookups manually and in-person while sitting around wating for clerks to bring me paperwork when I could be out canvassing properties. You can lookup public property records online quite easily nowaways by tapping into online database websites. Just a warning, no public property records website that claims it gives free property reports is providing anything without a catch. It’s usually too good to be true. For a small subscription fee you can get an "all access pass" that will allow unlimited public property searches for a given amount of time (6 months, year, etc). Get with the times and take your search online.

    There are companies that will do this for you. But it will cost you!

    Go into the website of the State you want to search. Then find the county you want to search, each county through their tax office has a appraisal district.. Go to appraisal district, most States let you search for free.

    Many county tax assessor’s provide online access to property assessments, taxes, and sales history. Some states and counties will also have online information about tax liens and foreclosures. But you may have to call the appropriate county office for more information.
