I'll be in touch before I leave so we can schedule something. 

Hi Chris,Get in touch with Chris Wetherall, he will help walk you through it.  

., or downtown which unless you have $50mm your not touching. 

Obviously $165/nite for 19 days/mo doesn't even touch your monthly loan payment, let alone everything else.Rentals in CA generally do not cashflow, particularly on the coast in SoCal.

What I would like to try is find the ad, get in touch, and somehow get this scammer in trouble.

We have used companies like InfoUSA and other list generation sources in the past, but found that we had a hard time finding the owner directly and ended up speaking to a lot of property managers etc. which wasn't particularly effective.Does anyone have any ideas of companies or processes we can employ to help us identify properties and then get in touch with the true owners of the building?

Please let me know and I can get in touch with you for details.I am new to Biggerpockets and I am glad i came across it.

I would touch them once per month and be prepared for it to take a year to find your deal.

ARV 120-130KI also found out home was going into auction for back taxes.I spoke to an attorney and he recommended I don't touch it because tax sale would not eliminate all liens or family claims so I gave the info to other investors who had more experience.a year later home sold for 58k taxdeed sale.How could I have create a deal here? 

@Mark S. 90-92% is a pretty solid occupancy rate.Since "good" vs "bad" occupancy rate depends on so many factors, the presence of a sensitivity analysis is a nice touch by Syndicators.
