Properties without street # ?? Please advise!

While roaming the streets looking for wholesale properties, I often come across run down properties without a house #, which obviously makes it difficult to identify the actual adress for the property. The logical thing to do is to follow the sequntial order of neighboring houses, but how would I confirm the actual address?

Another method I try is to locate the block/lot # of the property but many towns/counties do not have the parcel maps available online. Would this be a case where I have to physically go down to city office? That wouldn’t be a problem, but I’m just trying to find the easiest most time efficient alternative… Thanks in advance

I’d use the google maps ariel view and type in the address you presume it is based on the other houses. then see where the tack is placed in the map.

Also, can’t go wrong by knocking on the neighbor’s door on both sides.

your tax assessors website should have maps and help you deduce the address from sorounding homes

I use this for finding it online. Get the next door neighbors addresses and google the county, state gis. If it’s a large city then they may have their own, so then it’s city, state gis. Should take you right to it. If it’s really not up there, try the hit and miss approach with google, or call the county’s register of deeds - they should have an answer for you.

The bigger question is how are you going to find the owner of the property?

Put a “For Sale” Sign with your telephone number on the property…

Good luck

Lol… love it.

So my response to that would be what if I receive a call from a potential buyer, as oppose to the actual owner?

And what do I tell the owner once they DO call?

Ok… I can actually figure out what to say when the owner calls (hence the reason for putting the sign down).

And to rephrase my first question, (to avoid using “what if”), how would I respond to calls from potential buyers?

While you are planning what to say to the owner, figure out what you are going to say to the police when the owner calls them and tells them that you are trying to sell a house that doesn’t belong to you.
