Depending on they type of property or situation you want to target, i.e. probate, foreclosure, tax liens you can get the data through public records.

@Ethan Bruland have you sought out a public adjuster? 

There is always a line that is not to be crossed by a licensee dealing with the public.

It currently has separate electric meters but on the AOS and public records it is labeled as a sfr.

As soon as they make a public probate filing, they are in need of help. 

But, an IRA or 401k of the Wall Street variety (common model) is equally tied up as far as your access, and even more restricted because of the limitation on publicly traded investments only.

As most NYers agree - it's one of (if not the) best places on earth (certainly in the US) because we have incredible diversity, openness, creativity, access, architecture, history, culture, opportunity, transportation etc..  

While it was a deeply rewarding career, I had to face the fact that I’m not 20-something anymore and I don’t want to be crippled with arthritis to the point of not being able to enjoy retirement down the road.Someone on a different networking site told me about Public Adjusting.  

I have gotten several email replies from others that say they agree with me but few are willing to make a public statement I support.

They say I'm welcome to use the public records computer to look up individual cases.I know this has to be bull, because plenty of other wholesalers get this list.
