I’m going to hire one soon to search property records and compile contact list.

I'm assuming you've done what you can online by looking up the parcel info in your county parcel viewer, online searching parcel # and address?

- refer to the original depreciation schedule but "pause it" so that I pick up depreciaiton as if no years had passed in between rental use (this doesn't sound correct, but it's an opinion I've come across in my research)- start fresh and ignore the previous depreciation schedule, picking the lesser of an adjusted basis (original home purchase value minus land value + improvements) or fair market value minus land valueI have spent several hours looking at IRS publications and searching forums with mixed or no advice.

Good luck to you in your search.

Just have to be a bit more patient with the search.

If you type in Morris Invest/Oceanpointe in the search area of this website you will find a lot of threads on this subject and these companies. 

If you have seen other discussions about this, please share a link I will continue to search through the forums myself and add anything I find here.Thanks!

If you are not adept at performing a title search, you should let your title company do a title search before you bid.

If there is no space for a dumpster, search craigslist for hauling/trash removal. 

I have done a search and try skip tracing the info to find owner and anyone related.
