If the tax roles have at least a valid name I usually google the name but also have found a great website www.radaris.com that helps track down addresses and phone numbers.The neighbors can generally tell you the story on the house and who lived there but I've found that they rarely can give you good contact info.The worst ones are houses where the tax roles have a deceased persons name on it.
