How to purchase a property with an unreachable owner

[Sameer Agrawal]

Hi All,

I am interested in purchasing a condo in a building where I already own another unit.

The unit I would like to purchase has been vacant for at least 4 years. It has a had a FIFA Transferred/Sold status on the tax assessor website since 2018. The HOA dues are being payed (through some sort of autodraft) but are in an old amount, meaning that the HOA dues amount have increased, but the owner's autodrafted payments have not updated to match.

I have purchased a service to find the contact information for the owner, but all available numbers are not reachable/disconnected.

The county office does not have/will not provide contact information for the owner.

Oddly enough, the owner's mailing address is for another property nearby, where the taxes are paid in full.

How do I go about contacting the owner, or the people who have purchased the taxes/paid the taxes on the owner's behalf.
Ultimately, I am looking to purchase the property and get it to an occupied condition.

Thanks,

Sameer
