You can do a search of the owners on www.MerlinData.com. You can also send a letter to the
property and put “Return Address Correction Requested”. The post-office will provide you with a new address if they have it on file. Check with your post office, I think this is how the verbage is suppose to be. You can check with the neighbors, run a skip trace, if you have a friend or someone who works for a utility company, see if they can get a forwarding address.
Remember, the harder the sellers is to find, the better the deal!
The skip tracers like FindtheSeller.com will do better if you have a soc sec number. I’ve occassionally found them by looking at the mortgage or deed in the records. It is sometimes by their name.
