Finding the owner vacant property

I have contacted the county assessment office and I looked up records for a vacant home. I have a bank and lender who own the property but I have no way to contact then. One is Ocwen and the other is Wells Fargo. I really want this house because it looks like new just over grown maybe a 10k or less fix up. I would even say 5k or less. Just over grown and a few broken windows but I have yet to go inside though. Hopefully not too much water damage.

Back to the main question though. How do I get in contact with the lender because the home is not on the market yet and I just want to be proactive and get a good price in.

Andrew Brown no, in most states a real estate agent cannot pay you a fee unless you are also an agent.

You don't know that. How can it be a good deal if you don't even know how much they are asking? You are making a common mistake, looking at condition, situation, or location and thinking something is a deal. Just becuase something could or even should be a deal does not make it so. There are many sellers, including banks, who want top dollar given the current as is value.
