Yellow letter returned/Vacant

Good afternoon all. 

Quick question, I have received some letters back in the mail and they were marked vacant. I checked with our tax office and verified this was the only mailing address I had for the owner. Other than door knocking the neighbors is there another way of tracking down the owner? Would this be something a title company could assist with?

Thanks everybody.

I would order a skip trace.  You can sign up for a service that will cost you 5$ a search.  http://www.tlo.com/  The searches will provide a lot of information like phone numbers, alternative addresses, possible relationships, arrest records etc.   In the past I used this to locate someone who was in prison.   It allowed us to get a deed in lieu of foreclosure on a property.  Very good source for tracking people down.
