Vacant Home With Hospitalized seller?

[Derek T.]

Hello all..this is my first post after stalking this site daily for the last three weeks.

I have vacant homes that I am researching to wholesale and I have a dilemma. I have a vacant home that I have checked the assessor and county recorders office with and learned the following:

1) The homeowners name and the fact they are current on their taxes
2) The vacant property's owner has this home specifically listed as their address
3) I did a Facebook search on the owner as suggested in another forum I read and I learned that the individual is dealing with serious medical issues for the last 5 years.

There is an abandoned property notice on the door from a month ago..it is overgrown..through the windows the house is in total disarray...

So I have found an "abandoned property" according to the county. The owner is current on property taxes up to April of this year, but by the signs it appears they are getting overwhelmed with being hospitalized which would signal motivated seller to me.

Their mailbox is loaded with mail so I don't think postcards or yellow letters would mean anything.

How would anyone go about trying to contact the individual? Should I just wait? Should I move on? I'm new and reading like a fiend but not sure I've read anything where the owner is currently in the property but just not reachable... Thank you in advance and I'm sorry for the long post but wanted a complete picture for anyone reading...
