If it has been abandoned you need to check with the City or County Code Enforcement division to see why it is abandoned. Also if everything looks good there then maybe you can negotiate a deal with the current owner. 

You can even buy more properties are market value and still make a lot of money.

Getting the owner of a property to give you owner financing is the best way to get the best financing deals, if done right. Here are some real benefits of owner financing:

You Will Have A Distinct Advantage Over Other Investors In Your Area.

You Won't Need Much Money or Good Credit to Buy Real Estate.

No More Credit Checks. Because Most Sellers Don't Belong to A Credit Bureau.

You Will Have Quick Closings and Lower Closing Costs.

You Can Use Seller Financing Terms to Get Quick Cash for the Seller.

You Can Have Multiple Loans In Your Name But Not Show on Your Credit Report.

You And The Seller Set The Rules, Not The Bank.

You Can Get Long Term Income or Fast Cash - Whichever You Prefer When You Sell.

You Will Be Able to Do More Deals With Less Money Which Means More Profits.

You Can Structure Creative Deals - By Using What You Want to Get.

Negotiating Better Terms = Greater Profit.

This Is Creative Information Your Competition Doesn't Know.

I will be giving you specific examples of how to negotiate with the sellers on any deal. 

Marquis, yes I am. 

Aaron typically you just need to do a google search for it and many times you can find it that way.

Each county has their own FREE website. 

The best source to find motivated sellers is directly from the source rather than from list companies. I use the county's websites to find code enforcement liens (potential vacant houses or financially distressed owners), probate, tax lien auctions, preforeclosure (to find zombie houses), power of attorney (pre-probate) just to name a few. I use the MLS to find cash buyers in the area where I am potentially buying a house.

To learn all about all the details of commercial properties including MF check out the book "Commercial Real Estate Investing for Dummies". It is a great read. 

It looks like you now have more time on your hands. I would not buy any lists as they are well shopped and typically old data. It is best to go to the source of where they get their info. I go after probates, code enforcement, power of attorney, lis pendins, etc and I go directly to the county websites to get this info. It is fresh and directly from the source. And the best part it is FREE because you go to these websites and get the data yourself. I also do driving for dollars which the only cost is gas. 

Then when you get the data on the property and the owners I call them or either send them a letter.

THE best websites is the county government websites. I use them constantly to find the actual data source for probate, code enforcement, sort by type of property, lis pendins, zombie properties, power of attorney, divorce, evictions just to name a few.
