How to Acquire Abandoned Homes

Kenneth Goldman

Posted

I have found several abandoned homes in my area. Usually there is some notice posted with an 1800 number to contact. I call the number and make it as far as the bank holding the property such as Bank of America but never make it any further. I would like advice as to how I proceed further. These seem like great opportunities but can't penetrate the fortress of bureaucracy. What are the next steps?
