I need a list of current apartment building owners for
Phoenix,Scottsdale and Mesa, Arizona. I know there is a company that
sells a book with the information of the address,number of units,how
long they owned the property and the
owners name and phone number. I need to know where to purcase this
book.

I located a company which publishes the book you require,
according to this Effecta NoVacancy Apartment Shopping
Service page:

"To determine who owns the property, you have a couple of
 options. The first option is to visit the Register of Deeds
 office and cross reference parcel numbers. This can be a
 very time consuming process. An easier alternative is to
 find a publication that lists the owner of every apartment
 community in your area. For example, Kammrath & Associates
 in Phoenix , Arizona publishes a book annually that lists
 the name and address of the owner of every apartment
 community of 10 units or more in the Phoenix Metropolitan
 area. The publication costs $300.00 and includes quarterly
 updates of any changes in ownership."

I'm fairly confident that the "Phoenix Metropolitan area"
cited above includes the surrounding areas of Scottsdale
and Mesa, as well as Glendale and others. At worst, these
might come under the heading of a separate publication,
which, if not produced by Kammrath & Associates, will 
certainly be something to which they can direct you.

Kammrath & Associates has no web presence, so a search for
them and their contact information was futile, however, 
since I reside in Phoenix, I was able to look them up in
the local phone book. I called them as well, on the off
chance that someone might answer at 8:30pm. Their message
verified that the number is accurate. Had this been during
the business day, I would have verified what I can only 
assume without contacting them: that the publication(s)
they sell will satisfy your interest in Scottsdale and 
Mesa, as well as Phoenix. Their contact information is
as follows:

Kammrath & Associates
1202 E. Missouri Ave
Phoenix, AZ  85014
602-263-5340

If you are not located in Arizona, I would be happy to 
call them tomorrow morning and verify their exact
offerings. Just post a Request for Answer Clarification
to that effect.

I meant to add that, if you look into the links which result
from a search for 'Kammrath & Associates' (above), you will
see that they are cited in numerous government and real estate
industry reports, such as this very informative .pdf file from
Hendricks & Partners, which talks about the Phoenix apartment
industry, as well as other locations:
http://www.hendrickspartners.com/pdf/souwes/Southwest%202002%203QTR.pdf

"Hendricks & Partners is the nation’s largest multifamily
 advisory firm dedicated exclusively to the sale of apartment
 communities."
