If it is a private money/ commercial style  lender, it is a relatively simple process.

If you have access to private equity then sure, but if you want to buy properties yourself then at best you are looking at 1-2 per year if you have really good income. 3.

If we can't get an address to either party to mail a certified letter then a private investigator must be hired to locate them. 

First, let's be very clear here.The mortgage your speaking of is a private agreement between the seller and the lender.
