Please gave me advise on a vacant house

[Jim Keegan]

I am interested in buying house that has a foreclosure notice on the door.  I don't know what stage of foreclosure it is in and have never purchased a foreclosure before. This is what I know...

1.  The house is in Va Beach 

2.  Bought in 2015 for 210k, Zillow estimate at $370k (so let's say $340k on the safe side)

3.  Real estate taxes owned according to city website is $3k.

4.  The name of the owner.  I unsuccessfully tried to contact him via Facebook. 

5.  House was recently rented. So, I am thinking it doesn't need too much work.

6.  Wells Fargo holds the note.

Here is where I need help from the biggerpocket community.

I am thinking of asking some people who posted on his Facebook page if they can get me in contact with the owner, as his page seems to be unused.  I am also thinking of using a skip tracing service to see if I can get additional contact information.  I haven't been able to find the foreclosure notice in the local paper. 

How should I proceed?  Should  I hire a title company, realtor, or foreclosure attorney to help me?  If I can't find the owner I can bid at the courthouse steps, should  I get a title search down ahead of time?  Any insight would be great!
