Can’t Track Down Absentee Owner
Hi BP,
I’ve been driving for dollars and have come across a handful of abandoned homes that are listed as owner occupied (county records). I’ve searched for their phone numbers on whitepages and have a lawyer friend who seeks out their info. Most of the time he retrieves non-working Numbers And no updated contact info.
What are other ways of finding the owner? (I’m going to knock on the neighbors doors this week, anything else?)
