abandon homes??

[Rhonda Heckathorn]

Here in northwest indiana I am finding abandon homes that have sat for over a year or more, but have had no foreclosing processes started. Many look great for rehabbing, but I have no idea of where to start. The owners have moved, and I can get a bank name. Does anyone have any idea of how to acquire such a property, or what more I need to do to move forward, if possible under these circumstances?
