Hunting down owners of vacant properties

[Will Skillman]

I'm sure this has been asked (and answered) somewhere in this forum, but... What is the best way to hunt down owners of vacant properties? I am a wholesaler and we send out 1000's of direct mail pieces and get return mail from vacant properties with no forwarding address. Struggling to figure out how to find these people. There are deals to be made with these properties. Any recommendations would be helpful...

As you have been doing mailers, if you are getting their names from Listsource or somewhere else that gives you the address, I would check in with a local title rep for their primary address. Get this and see if you can mail to them, knock on their door if in a reasonable proximity, and give them a call once you get their primary address information.
