Duplex behind me is empty / foreclosed. Need help finding info!

[Brian Zitzow]

Good morning!

So I'm looking for my first investment property still and there is a duplex behind me that has been sitting empty. I would like to find out more information and see if I can buy this property!

Today I went over and took some pictures of what's posted on the front window (see attached).

• I called the number on the NDB Management notice and it says it was disconnected.
• I called the number for Altisource number that ends in 6514 and I reached the company: HubZu.Com
  • The woman told me she couldn't find the property listed for sale, but it has been foreclosed
  • I asked what bank owns it and she said Fannie Mae
• I searched on https://www.homepath.com/ and don't see the house listed

What can I do next if I want to make an offer on this house?

Is https://www.homepath.com/ where Fannie Mae sells all their foreclosures?

Any advice is welcome. Thank you!

@Jeff Robert I have found the original owner's name and address. Should I call them directly? The woman at HubZu told me it's already been foreclosed, which I thought meant Fannie Mae owns it now. Am I understanding this correctly?

 Given the notices, it likely HAS been foreclosed in which case Fannie Mae is now the owner -- I recommend you not call the former owners.
