Hello BP,

I found an abandoned house that the owner is in a nursing home and I have not been able to locate him.  I have hit a wall now and don't know what to do to buy this home what would you do?

All you have to do is mail an envelope to the person’s old address with “Return Service Requested” printed 1/2 an inch above the delivery address. The original letter will come back with the person’s new address printed on a yellow label. They have to have a forwarding address, or you will just get the letter back without any information.
