Found abandoned property in nice area. How to reach owner?
Good morning BP family,
I have a question. I’m in Georgia and acknowledged an abandoned home that’s located in an up and coming area.
I drove by the home multiple times but it was hard to discover it because it has a large front yard filled with trees.
The homes next to the property range in price materially in price from 200K – over 500K.
What’s the best process to reach the owner? And what do you recommend I do?

Been awhile and there's probably easier ways now. Start with county tax records &
you will get a name to start with then I used to use a online background service it will
give you new location of owners and or names & address on next of kin.
