Found a Vacant, Unlisted, Bank Owned SF Home
I'm in Ohio and found a Vacant, Bank Owned, Unlisted property.....I looked on the county auditor website and it shows its owned by:
US BANK NATIONAL, 4801 FREDERICA ST, Owensboro, KY.
It's been sitting unlisted for at least two months and I'm interested in buying it. Do I just call up the bank? If so, who am I looking to speak with? I would like to sound as if I've done this before ;).
Would this be considered a Short Sale? Or is a Short Sale BEFORE it goes to an auction and gets taken back from a bank?
