My first wholesaling deal. What 3 things should I do 1st?

[Obed H. Bey]

There's a house across from my mother's house. The previous owner died and as far as I know the bank seized the property and it's not currently on the market. Not in my niche but it might be an opportunity to wholesale and make a few bucks. My problem is I've never done a deal and been concentrating on my chosen path multi family homes. What 3 things would you say I should do as 1st steps?
