Hello BiggerPockets community,I have been driving for dollars in my area using the Driving for Dollars app and have some questions around the owner list data that the app provides.The app has been great so far and I've run into a situation where I am faced with property owner information deltas between two sets of data (one set from the Driving for Dollars app and the other set directly from the local county records).

They aggregate a lot of data and it doesn't always come out correct.

While doing that, I faced some hurdles around getting accurate economic, demographic, and real estate market data that didn't require a big software subscription and was also hyper local.

I'm looking at a property in Fort Myers FL and the county Property Appraiser data shows the owner as "Unknown Heirs of ..." 

According to Attom data, we should expect a large amount of foreclosures as 2021 rolls on due to federal eviction/foreclosure moratoriums being lifted.

However, I have a question on inputting this data into my return.I have a big list of items that qualified and corresponding 5 or 15 year depreciation amounts - example: irrigation $5254.06 (15yr); swimming pool $39,563 (15yr); Refrigerator $1812.82 (5 yr).

Where I live in NC, I can go into the public records room at our courthouse, and search their internal data base.

These firms are borrowing at historically low rates on properties more than 50% off their mid 2000s peak.

After I found that each location had these types of houses, I lowered my research to certain cities within OH / NC / TX and researched local government, employment situations, population changes, and added some of my notes of historic principles of the area and other variables of my own.

Get Ego out of the way to make decisions based on data.
