Yellow Letter "Return to Sender"

I've been sending out hand written yellow letters from my driving for dollars and just had my first few come back.  Two reasons:  "Return to sender vacant unable to forward" and"Return to sender not deliverable as addressed unable to forward"  

I mail to both the mailing address and the physical address.  My question is there somewhere I can find an updated address or are these dead leads besides leaving a door hanger?

I find the return to sender letters to be the best leads!  The mailperson writes VAC on letter

It tells me the property is vacant

I love vacant properties

I then research the previous homeowner anyway I can - google obituaries, family members, spokeo, whitepages.

Finding out what is going on with the property gets me a few steps ahead of other investors.
