Tracking People
Good day BP,
I've been going around our local community for the past 3 weeks and I've noticed 5 vacant/trashed/abandoned properties so far. I have also inquired with the locals as to the whereabouts of the owners; visited the county court's property records for names but I'm not able to reach these people. I was wondering if anybody knows about other methods to approach these people and possibly put a deal on a contract. Thanks everyone!
