Hey all, thanks in advance. We have a house that we know is vacated and in a prime area. The city posted a memo on the door about high grass to the owner, so we know the owner's name. We have already looked it up on the PVA website and it appears to be an older couple that passed the house on to their son, but that is far as we have gotten. We can't find anymore information about the son. Any suggestions on how to proceed from here? Thanks.
Look at the tax records and see what the address is that the tax bill is sent to. Also, have you tried going on to Spokeo? I find people alot through that. You can also go talk to neighbors. many times when it's an elderly owner they had lived in the house and the neighbors may know them.
Google "People Search" or "Skip Trace" and a ton of sites will come up. This sometimes takes some real detective work. Ask Neighbors, check facebook or linked in, public records etc. If you really think there could be a deal there a private eye can cost 50-$250 but can be well worth it
