- [Instructor] Hey, everybody.
This is Seth from the REtipster blog.
Thanks for stopping in.
In the next few minutes,
I'm gonna show you a little trick
to find out the owner of any property
anywhere in the United States.
Now, my secret weapon for doing this
is actually the same one that I use
for a lot of other things,
and it's this tool here that I've talked about a lot,
which is called AgentPro247.
And I'm gonna show you what I mean here
just by using this example from Hudson County, New Jersey.
I'm gonna just type in just a random street
that I happen to know of in that county,
and it's gonna bring us there.
Okay, now, as you can see,
this has given us a lot of information here.
We can see all these different partial maps
all over the place.
Just open this up a little bit.
And all of these properties with push pins in them,
those are all properties that have an address
as Fleet Street.
And just to give an example,
let's say we wanted to figure out
who the owner of, oh, I don't know,
this parcel right here is.
All you have to do is click on it,
it'll turn green,
and then it'll open this up,
and it shows you right here,
that is the entity that owns the property,
and that's the address.
And to do something even cooler,
you can actually open up these reports.
And by the way, these reports are available
on every single parcel in the county.
So, I mean, any single one you find,
if you wanna learn more about it,
this is all you gotta do.
And essentially it's gonna open up this new window here.
And we can scroll down.
And the first thing I want you to take a look at
is the mailing address,
so this is actually where the owner can be contacted at,
and the site address.
This is the actual address of the property itself.
And you'll notice the addresses are not the same.
They're very close,
they're probably right next to each other,
but it's not the same.
And essentially what that means
is that technically this property is owned
by an absentee owner.
And, of course, as you look further down,
you can see even more information,
like the total area of the land,
the year it was built, the use code.
It looks like this is apparently some kind of a church.
And you can also see the transfer values,
so that's the amount it was apparently sold for.
And this happened back in 2012.
You can see assess value.
I mean really a ton of stuff here,
which is awesome.
In this particular video,
the reason I'm bringing this up
is because I actually use AgentPro a lot
when I'm trying to find out who owns a particular property.
So, for example, let's say we just bought
this parcel right here,
and we wanna find out who owns the one right next to it.
Well, we can do that,
and all we gotta do is click on this.
And if we wanna find out even more,
we can click on this report
and pull up all the information
that we would ever wanna know.
In this particular case,
the reason I would wanna do this
is to find out where this owner lives
and to send them a letter
so I can find out, hey, do you wanna sell your property?
Do you wanna buy my property?
Do you wanna do business on some level?
And it's really cool
because when you use this information the right way
and reach out to people,
you'd be surprised how often business can be done
just with the person next door.
So anyway, that's really all there is to it.
As you can see, it's not really complicated
or difficult at all.
You just have to sign on here to AgentPro
and go to your respective county that you're looking in
and pull up the right information and you're good to go.
So, as you can see, AgnetPro's a pretty helpful tool,
especially for real estate investors like us
who are trying to get property information,
pull lists, things like that.
I personally don't know of any tool out there
that's better than this.
I mean, it's been just a really awesome resource for me.
So if you're watching this right now,
and you're thinking to yourself,
"You know, this is good, I gotta get in on this,"
then there's really a couple things that you can do.
First of all, if you want to do a free trial,
you can go right down here, click on that button,
and just sort of follow the prompts
and do what you need to do.
But, I mean, if you see this,
and you know right off the bat this is what you need,
and you wanna pull the trigger and sign up,
all you have to do is go right up here
to the Sign UP Now button.
And the first thing that you're gonna see
is this right here.
And what you're looking at right here
are all of different types of subscriptions
that you can sign up for.
And something that you'll obviously see
if you look over here to the right
is really just the cost per month.
And they can be pretty expensive
all the way down to pretty cheap.
If you're looking to run a business like the one that I do,
you're probably gonna want to go with
either this one right here, the bronze subscription,
or the profile package over here.
The only real difference is with the bronze subscription
you're going to want to choose this one
if your primary purpose is just to pull lists
for direct mail purposes.
If that's what you're after
and that's all you really want to do,
then that's probably the best choice for you.
On the other hand, if you want to use AgentPro
to actually do a lot of property research,
pull up property profile reports,
and figure out transaction history, market values,
locations, addresses, all this stuff,
in that case, you'll probably want to do the profile package
because it allows you to pull
up to 50 full profiles per month.
Personally, my business model
doesn't really require me to pay a ton of money
for these really expensive subscriptions,
but I know that there are some business models out there
that actually require this kind of thing
if you want to get foreclosure data
or mortgage information or all of that stuff.
If that's something you need,
then by all means feel free to sign up for some of these.
So whichever one you want to do,
I want you to pay attention to something here,
because this is a trick that not many people know about.
If you go right up here the the Partner ID box,
all you have to do is enter in this code: CFGRSH.
And when I click Update, I want you to pay attention
to what happens to all of these numbers here,
because once I do that, all the prices
for everything across the board goes down 10%,
and that's not just the savings on one month,
that's a permanent savings
for the life of your subscription.
So you'll definitely want to enter that code in
and save yourself some money over the long haul.
Once you've got your subscription chosen,
I'm just gonna pick that one for now,
you go Next.
And this window right here
I don't really do anything with.
You can just hit Next again.
And then this one, again, you just hit Next again.
It just summarizes the prices for you.
And in this step right here it's really just the usual drill
where you fill in all your contact information
and choose a password and all that,
but one thing I want to draw your attention to
is the fact that all of these fields
are actually required fields,
as you'll see by these little asterisks right here.
And obviously that's no big deal,
until you get down here
when it asks for your real estate license number.
I get a lot of questions from people who say,
"You know, Seth, I can't get through
"because I'm not a real estate agent.
"I don't have that license number."
I'll just tell you right now, it's okay.
All you gotta do if you're an investor
is just type the word "investor" in here,
and then you'll have something in that field
and then you'll be able to click on to the next one
and keep moving forward.
In the next couple of steps
you'll have to enter in your payment information
and make your first payment and get started.
And that's really all there is to it.
It's not too complicated.
So thanks again for watching.
I hope you found this video helpful.
If you got any questions you can always feel free
to call this support number here.
I know I've called it a couple times
and usually they can help me
with whatever it is that I need.
So feel free to reach out to them
if you need any help.
And, yeah, I wish you all the best
and go out there and find some deals.
Good luck.
