Contacting an absentee owner
First, I’m totally new at real estate investing, but I recently found a property that is perfect for a flip in a great neighborhood but when I looked up the owner on the tax accessor’s website, the address listed is the address of the uninhabited property I’m wanting to flip. Neighbors say it has been vacant for “a while,” and one neighbor I talked to guessed it has been years. Any ideas or strategies for getting in contact with the owner? I’m gonna send a letter and see what happens first, but was wondering if there were any other things I could try. Thanks in advance.
