Mail out flyers is the best way.You can drive around the area that you are interested and see if it looks abandoned and find the owner.It's off-market so it means a lot of manual work on finding them. do a simple internet search and you will find many ways.

@Greta AndrewsSDIRA over a insurance policy for investing purposesIf you are an agent could you do an s Corp then pay yourself like $20k then you could do a solo 401k, put the $20k (max allowed if not contributing with current employer) then the company profits can contribute like 25% so another $5k and easily put $25k a year which it’s is only around 6k or whatever the new limit

They are a huge fire hazard.And a shop vac is not gonna do it unless it's a really short duct.

It’s a landlord-friendly market with strong population and job growth, making it attractive for investors.

It is unfortunate that you are in this position and it sounds like you have had very little to no communication from your representation or lender. 

I understand that it may take time to build the capital for larger deals, but I’m committed to making it happen.

Do you get the most value out of the money you make?

But in doing so I found my insurance for the property lapsed!!

On either an A class property or a commercial building, I would do preventative maintenance, but beyond that I wouldn't worry about it. 

Would it be worth it with today's rates ?
