Abandoned homes, contacting homeowners & contracting the deal.

[DaVon Brooks]

I found a property that seems to be an awesome deal, but I think it's abandoned; it's in an area that I visit a lot and I haven't seen anybody enter or leave the property in months. I even knocked on the door for about 10 minutes on a whim, hoping to confirm our disprove my thoughts. 

How would I go about contracting the property?
