How to Locate Abandoned House Owner
I've located a house that is boarded and appears to be abandoned. I checked with the county recorder’s office and got the name and address of the owner, but the mailing address is the same as the abandoned house.
Does anyone know how I can find a mailing address or other contact information for the owner of the abandoned house?

If you know their name, you can look them up on Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. The neighbors are good too, let the neighbors know you have some $$$ for the past owners :) Which is true if they accept your offer to buy right! lol Sometimes you have to get creative. Also look up their name in property appraiser/tax record they might own other property too. So you might get a different address there.
You can also search they name on Secretary of state under corporations/LLC etc as an agent or member. I've found contact info there too. Still ..... send a letter to the address you have, it might be getting forwarded to another address. Good luck!
