Finding Owner Information
Hey BP! I have been eyeing a duplex in my town that has been vacant for a couple years. It was owned by an older couple and then given to their son when they passed away. Their son lives out of state and I was wondering if you all had suggestions for he best way of getting ahold of an absentee owner like this situation. I'm open to calling, emailing, messenger pigeon...whatever can help me get in contact with him so I can find out what his plans are with the property. Thanks guys!

@Tim Moore - get their info off the tax records first. Then either plug their names or address into a free search on anywho.com or use something like Spokeo.com to track them down. They are probably getting peppered with letters so get on it!
