I found a house, what do I do next?

[Dion Shields]

Hello BP Fam,

From what I've gathered thus far, it's advised that, as a newbie wholesaler, I narrow-in on or master a particular neighborhood, so I figured what better neighborhood to start with than my own. So I did just that, and surprisingly came across a few potentials. One in particular has all the aspects one would look for in a deal. Severely unkept yard, newspapers EVERYWHERE, several notices/stickers placed on the front door (something to do with the home being "winterized"), etc.

So my question is, how do I go about finding the owner or getting in contact with SOMEONE pertaining to the house? Let me add that there's NO Realtor or FSBO sign in the yard, and I looked up the house in our county appraisal district records, and found a name, but it ties back in to the same address.

All help/replies are greatly appreciated!

"Winterized" = Bank-owned

So this one won't be sold FSBO, it will most likely get listed with some REO agent that the bank uses to sell their properties.
