Question on looking up a property on local assessors website

[Timothy Allen]

Hello everyone!

I wasn't sure what category to ask my question so what better way than in the Starting Out thread, lol. I am in the "learning" process of becoming a first-time investor and have recently made my introduction on the welcome page.

There's a property in my local neighborhood that was been semi vacant for the last few years as I drive by it every once in a while.  It wasn't until learning real estate investing strategies and hearing about sending out letters to owners of rental or vacant properties asking if they'd like to sell that this property came to mind.

So my question is this: I looked up the property on my local assessor's website as I've done a few of these already and this one showed up with two names under the owner. The first name is a real estate company followed by C/O and regular name. What is this telling me from your experience? Id figured Id reach out before beginning to possibly send a letter. Thanks in advance

Tim
