I do think the recent virus scare will potentially cause some owners considering selling to be more motivated if they think they can get close to their price.

It motivates me to hear stories like this in this site...

A company than manages 10 buildings will be more efficient than each of those 10 building owners self-managing.

My desired strategy would be to call property owners behind on taxes expecting them to be strongly motivated to sell. 

The most efficient way to find properties is to choose a market(area of interest for your buyers) and drive around.

@Jerome Meyers  I am just searching for the most efficient and cost effective way to purchase my first commercial property.Any wisdom you could share with me would be greatly appreciated.

32 units (plus a groundskeeper/leasing office that's currently leased as an efficiency unit).It's right next to Benedict College. 

It sounds like you want to get into rental property investing so you want to make sure that you are with a company that has an investing mindset and can create an environment where you feel comfortable and motivated.

Also, it saves me a trip to the property if they are not motivated at all. 

There are certainly attorneys who are well priced and who are efficient with their time, but quality is still difficult to assess without having first worked with them.
