Finding out who owns a vacant home?

Hey all,
I’m pondering doing a 203k rehab as my first home. I’ve been driving around looking for a suitably neglected home in an area I like. I’ve found such a home… my question: how do I find out what bank (or organization) owns that home? There’s no for sale sign out front, but it’s obviously vacant.

Thanks

See if the county/parish tax office is on-line and, if so, look it up. If you have a relationship with someone in the tax office, call them and ask…if none of the above, go to the tax office and ask who the owner of record is. This information is “public record”.
