Acquisition question. Seller left country

[Jason Henderson]

So I was driving for dollars today, and came across a couple that are owned by an LLC. When I looked at the Secretary of State to pull the registered agent's name and address it pulled up an address that is some old garage that's not in any way a business. The registered agent's name is middle eastern, and I had a friend do a skip trace on him and it appears as if he left the country. We haven't been able to find any viable contact information to even send him a letter. His LLC owns a TON of properties that are vacant and distressed. A lot of them also show to have unpaid taxes as well. I think we could probably acquire a bunch of these properties extremely cheaply if we could only get in touch with seller. Has anyone else ran into weird stuff like this?
