How to Purchase "Off the Market" Properties in GA

[Eva Oliver]

Hello,

I am a new investor in Atlanta. I have 2 rental properties and looking into purchasing multi-family units.  I see several that are off the market and have researched properties on the tax assessors website. Is it possible to contact the bank that purchased the property? I find that once the hit general market they are gone the first day. Also, the records shows that it was a T-sale. Not sure what that is.

Thank you.
