What is my next step?

David White

I've been driving past this house that I believe is vacant. I've looked up the address on Google maps and compared the photo to the house's present condition. There's nobody ever at the house, the grass isnt cut regularly, ect. How do I properly confirm my suspicions? And after confirmation what is my next step?

What you need to do now is look up the address on the property appraisers website to see if the physical address and the owners mailing address are different.  I also like to look up the property on Zillow to see if the house in in foreclosure or not.  Then if the addresses are different, send them a yellow letter.  If you get that yellow letter returned to sender then take it a step further and skip trace that lead and call them if you don't mind cold calling them, also you can track them down on FB as well sometimes.  Go get em tiger!
