By this I mean beyond just pulling all recorded documents prior to acquisition.If you create a timeline which goes back in time to the original owners' purchase then add the life events to that timeline, including the death of each owner and other events which put pressure and burdens on living persons, such as paying the mortgage(s) and taxes on their deceased parents' house.Then, determine how you can obtain and correlate this information and segment your list for sub-niches and nano-niches. 

The best way to identify deals is to specialize and truly understand an area, segment, or other niche to better focus your search.

For the next properties I purchased, I first identified a tenant segment with a high concentration of reliable tenants.

The answer lies in the way the market for real estate is segmented.

Small towns may rely too much on a single business or market segment.

It should be pointed out that the rate of inflation (again, as Dave mentioned) seems to be determining the rate of deflation.One of the resources I regularly read segregates the different segments into high, medium, and low appreciation tiers so as to be able to differentiate what the projected deflation might look like.On the lowest end of the scale, the 10 to 20% decrease in average pricing is what is projected by this group.

If you segment out properties into corporate entities and finance on income you can use personal credit to acquire more and continue the cycle.

If you have the capital to buy a NNN deal, I think it is a great segment to focus on.
