What are the steps to marketing to an absentee owner

[Dolita Adams]

Hi BP,

Can someone explain the steps involved in marketing to an absentee owner? 

1.  I located an abandoned property, I searched the counties property site and found out the name of the owner, but it didn't list a current address for them.

I then did a search on people smart to see if I could find a current address for them.

My search turned up a current address for them, and several other addresses as well including the address of the abandoned property, so I'm pretty sure it's them, but when I searched that counties records to see if the current address people smart had for them was accurate, it did not list them as the owner, but the owners do not live at the address so the owner of the abandoned property could be renting.

2.  So, should I just send a yellow letter or postcard to the current address or all of the addresses they have listed for them?

3.  If one of my mailings should reach them and they contact me, what do I say to them?
