Legality of Approaching homeowner

I work as a first responder in a hot market. On a daily basis I go into homes of people that would be perfect for creating a list of homes to try and wholesale to local flippers.

My question is...

Are there any legal issues I may run into if I were to contact the homeowners of these homes about selling?

Example: Person at 123 main street calls 911 because they fell down and can’t get up. They live alone or their spouse is unable to assist them. Fire Department shows up picks them up and if not injured people usually stay home.

Hypothetically if I were to write down the address and later reach out to them via door knock, direct mail or call are there any legal issues I might run into?

Thanks in advance!
