Vacant Property in Brooklyn
Hey Bp
I've trying to get my feet wet in wholesaling for a while now, I've seen some vacant Property in my area that I think would be great for wholesaling. My question is how do you find the owner in order to get in contact with them if the property is Vacant? Some of the Property have also been bought by the bank so how do I take it off of their hands? All the information I have found on the Property have been off of http://www.oasisnyc.net/map.aspx. For people that don't know about this site, it a great tool to find out just about any information on a property in Nyc all you need is the Address and BOOM the information is at your fingertips.
Thank you for any and all help!

Pedro,
If the property is owned by the bank then they will list it with a realtor. You will have to wait until it hits the market. If the property is owned by an individual then you can try and find them through skip tracing. There are numerous ways to skip trace an individual. You can go cheap and type their name into google and see what happens. You can also use a free site like quanki.com or pay a small fee to findtheseller.com. Anyway good luck with wholesaling.
