Finding the address of vacant lot

Hey guy, first post here! I seem to have exhausted the people I can get get ahold of to ask this question to, and get a helpful answer from, so I figured I'd give it a shot on here. Basically, I stumbled across a vacant lot in the middle of an older housing development with no address posted. My question is, how can I go about finding the address and subsequently the owners name? I have had little success in my own. Secondly I would like to hear some opinions on my idea. I would like to purchase the land and build 15-20 2-story 12-1400 sq/ft houses? Condos? Townhouses?, Don't know what the right word actually is, retain ownership of all of them and rent them out. Thanks in advance for the replies! Toby

Sometimes vacant lots don't actually have a mailing address until something is built on it. Your county may be different, but I typically look for the parcel number of the lot. Then, through the county you should be able to use that parcel number to look up who the person is that is responsible for paying the property taxes, along with their mailing address, wherever they live. Again, it may be different where you are, but that's how I do it up here.
