It allows you to filter and buy the info per record.

Many places have limits on how much (percent wise) dues (where insurance is generally one of the largest expenses) can increase and I'd expect just about every coastal property to be above 10%, most well above unless capped by covenants, rules, or recorded declarations. 

HOWEVER, if you do get a judgment, PLEASE make sure to record it at your county recorder's office so everyone will know this is a deadbeat. 

There is a chance you do not possess paperwork from that long ago, in which case hopefully the former employer still exists and has records, you can also request tax returns transcripts from the IRS website or by filling out paperwork and mailing it in.Interestingly, banks don't do comprehensive criminal background checks (just for financial crimes specifically, though I've never personally worked on a loan where that came up, guess I'm not on the Wolf of Wall Street's speed dial).

These should be public information, so google "property tax records ____(your county)" and look it up.2) Insurance is another one to think about.

Hi @Walt AlexanderSpeaking from experience, you are less likely to get a deal from 100 records.

Today I went down to land records for more education/ information but I’m having the toughest time getting owners contact info.

We have 18 doors. Wondering what systems/programs everyone uses? For tenant info, and expenses? 

This could also backfire and increase your taxes, but your record will be correct and you will be able to market this property for its accurate square footage and room count. 

Besides that, to do it correctly, you'll still have the deed recording fees, transfer tax fees, document prep fees, pro-rating taxes, etc.
