Finding someone online is not as easy as you would be lead to believe. There are people with private numbers and many sites tease you with some data but you have to pay to get all of it. So how can you circumvent that if you are not willing to pay for the info.

If the person has a business, it is easy to get their business address. But if they are taking a room in a house and there is no phoneline to their room, the problem is that much bigger.

Assemble all the clues you have. Do you know which state they are in? How about which county? or city? These help you narrow down the field when you use Whitepages.com as on this site you can put in the name, state, city and push search and perhaps the name will come up on the list. If not, then you next step would be to do a Google search with the name first then state, then city. If that yeilds nothing you might as well pay up!
