Finding current owners

[D D]

Hello all. I am a newb when it comes to real estate investing although I do significant research regarding investing and I am currently taking real estate classes to obtain my license but I have yet to purchase a property.

However, down the street from my current house is a similar house that was put up for auction by a private firm only to be taken off the block days before the auction took place, at least, according to the auction firm. No other details were given.

My question is this: How can I find the current holder of the property? The house is vacant and the only sign on the property is the auction firm's and, of course, they are not providing that information.

I think this would be a great first investment property for me since it is within my price range and within walking distance from my current home. Any ideas on finding the current holder is appreciated. Thanks.
