Finding owners of vacant houses. I need help.

I can't find any info about contact information regarding the owner of a house I want in Taylorsville. (No I'm not posting the address.😉)

All I have is the address of the house. I don't want my letter to hang out with the dozen newspapers on the porch, if you get my drift.

What do you guys do to find owners of homes like this?

@Jay Lalik Your best bet is to do a skip trace on the owner. If you can't do it yourself, you will have to eventually give out the address so a professional can locate the owner's contact information. However, before going that route, I would ensure that the property has enough equity to work with. You may want to go on the tax assessor's site and see when it was bought. If it was bought around 2006-2008, most likely it's upside down. You could spend all of your time searching for the owner and then it not even being a deal. I always do some due diligence before I track down an owner.
