Getting In Touch With Property Owner

Brian Ward
Posted

Today while I was driving for dollars I stumbled upon a duplex that looked vacant. I took the address to the Levy Court recorder of deeds and she provided me a document of the property info and where the current owner lives. Now that I know it is absentee owned and vacant should I write a direct mail letter or try and find the owners phone number and give them a call ? Any advice ?

Track down the number and give them a call. It wont take too much time and it can get you a quick answer. If you are compiling a larger d4d list then you can do direct mail and add them on there, but for one property I would make the call. 

Cheers!
