How to find bank and loan information on a pre-foreclosure?
I'm in CA and found a property that has a Notice of Default posted in public records, but how do I find out the bank that is foreclosing? I want to find out where this in the process. I can't find a Notice of Trustee sale posted so I am thinking this is still early in the process and I should contact the bank?
The other route I was considering is calling the owner to buy the property directly?
What do you think is a better route?

The bank can not help you or even talk to you. Find the owner, if there is any equity.
