Driving for Dollars
Did driving for dollars for vacant properties.
Did research and go the addresses off assessor websites and used Zabasearch.com, 411.com etc. to find the phone #'s and called all of them. It turns out none of the phone #'s are active and all of them are disconnected. Preferred not to send out yellow letters as all of them are vacant and waste of time and money. As there is a law that the post office will not give forwardable addresses if requested on the envelope.
Not sure what to do next? Please only those that have done and have success with finding vacant owners please respond kindly. Much appreciated....thanks.

Driving for dollars. Find vacant houses.
Go to tax assessors website. It's by county so In Houston it is Harris County Appraisal District (HCAD.org)
Input the address in the search box.
It should come back with the owners name, address you are searching and mailing address.
The mailing address is usually their current address, not the house that is vacant.
Send yellow letter to mailing address.
Does this help?
