Found an Abandoned House.....what's next ?!

[Kenyatta Fletcher]

So if some of you have seen my previous posts, I am attempting to transition from a Bird Dog to a wholesaler. I was in a family member's neighborhood, and noticed a house that looked ......rough around the edges. Asked my aunt and she told me the house had been empty for some time.....Hmmmm. Okay.
I noted the address, and took a pic of property. Went back to my office and begun a little research. Uncovered owners name, and a possible telephone number.
Went back to the house, and talked to the neighbor that lived across the street, the owner was a single mom that got remarried, and they simply moved .....Thanksgiving 2009. I confirmed with the neighbor the owners name. The house is completely empty, overgrown lawn and a forest of weeds. I have tried the listed number, no answer. Someone suggested I contact the HOA, to see if they have any owner contact information, as they would have a vested interest in cleaning up the property !!

I would love a MENTOR or someone to walk me through the next steps, to see if this is a potential motivated seller...
As always, BP......I look to you for answers....
