Post: How to find out about an owner in a foreclosure

I'm trying to find out more about a foreclosed property where the owner listed is "U S BANK TRUST N A TRUSTEE."

I couldn't find much from googling that, so I looked up the mailing address and reached a law firm that said they can't give any info out. 

How do I find out who to contact? 

Thanks!

PPS: There is a search function on the FilePlace page (not the contract sub page) and searching for "lease" or "agreement" produces a number of state-specific results. Unfortunately I'm not finding a general lease for Illinois or Missouri, and "Connecticut" only produces an image that offers 7 documents for $99 but no instructions on how to purchase it...

Answered my own question/generated a follow-up question:

They're located under tools > fileplace > contracts (

https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/contracts/cate...)

However, I can't find any way to search within the documents, they seem to be in chronological order, and I can't find a way to reorder to alphabetical, topical, etc. so it seems you have to just scroll through all fifteen pages of random documents looking for what you want: does anyone know of a better way to navigate the state-specific lease agreements?

Does anyone know where on the site the state-specific rental contracts are located? I have heard them mentioning them for several months on the podcast, and I believe I heard in a recent episode that the project of having one for each state is almost complete, but I can't seem to find them... Thanks!

To claim the deduction I'm trying to find my receipt from BiggerPockets to itemize my membership: anyone know how to view your payment history with BP? I can't find any email acknowledging the actual amount of the payment...

I applaud the new location and will make it a priority to make it this month. (Not that that helped all that much last month, but barring a scheduling mistake and a babysitting crisis like last time, I'll be there!)

@Mario B., I moved from Carbondale IL for work. I looked at New London and think it's a fantastic town, probably going to see increases in value IMHO: its got great "bones" as a city, is starting to "urbanify" (trendy places starting to open) but it's way behind the curve, and it seems to me the hipsters there are still young and haven't started having kids/figuring out how to make the city work with kids--so prices are dirt cheap. Great beaches when you get out of the Thames and onto the actual coast of the Sound, puts you a couple miles from the "downtown" but still within city limits. I should note I've done a lot less research on New London than I have on Milford. I ended up settling on Milford because my work requires me to be in New Haven about four days a week and I didn't want the commute from New London--but I was really impressed with both towns. Also check out the village of Niantic just outside of New London.

I moved to Milford six weeks ago, but have been watching the real estate market for the last year here--my impression is that if you want to be just a few houses from the beach you're probably looking at flood insurance--at least over at the east end of town (Walnut Beach area or Silver Sands area). I think as you get over in the western part of town (west of the harbor) you may find places well above the beach that are oceanfront. Also, if walking a block or so to the beach is okay, you could probably find something out of the flood zone just about anywhere.
