Finding a property owner
I am having trouble finding a property owner. It is a duplex in South Carolina. The tax office says that it was foreclosed on in 2015 and Bank of America owns it. I go over to their webpage to look at their foreclosures. Its not listed. I filled out the online contact us form and a few hours later a foreclosure specialist called me. I give them the address and they tell me that they do not own the property. I then went to the office of deeds and got the same answer as from the tax office. Bank of America owns it. I drove back by the property to see if I can find anything that will lead me in the right direction. There were a few winterization papers on the windows. I called the phone numbers on those papers. This company points me to Mr Cooper. I called the Mr Cooper company and they claim that they do not own nor have any relation to the property. Back to the tax office. I got the address to where they send the tax bill. It is Bank of America in Simi Valley California. I contact customer support and they too claim that they do now own the property. I am lost as to what to do. Taxes are paid up to date so someone owns it, right?
