How to know the owner of the property?

[Arpan Gurung]

So I m just starting out and I m trying to get my first investment property. I m working with my realtor trying to find good properties and also I have been driving around for distressed properties. I found a house in a good neighborhood that looks like nobody lives there anymore and the lawn is overgrown and the property is just not taken care of. My big question is how do I find out what the actual address for the property is and how do I figure out who the owner is and his/her contact info? Also I have listened to the podcast and remember BP talking about direct mails. Do I just write a letter saying I want to buy your house and send it to their mailing address or leave it in their mail box? I m really new to this and I apologize if I sound stupid. Thank you all in advance. Your answers will be highly appreciated.
