Start looking at them in Zillow if they are off market write down the address mail them a letter asking if they have any interest in selling their house.

Hi @Takako Smith, There are numerous issues discussed throughout this thread, so I will try to address each one of them.First, you cannot sell Relinquished Property and structure a 1031 exchange into new Replacement Property that you then rent back to yourself.

@Richard MillerYou could go in the public records and search by address, folio number (tax number), or the name of the owner.

I am an agent and can download addresses from MLS for absentee owners.

and knows property management. send me address and we will assess the situation.

It works well with my apt buildings and retail spaces, but not residential.When you back-door transfer your little house after the fact, don't forget to address your title insurance and property insurance.  

The house is really run down with no address listed on it.

There will be a 15 minute presentation on financing options for New York residents at which point the floor will then be open for the entire group to address and discuss any ideas or topics!

If you post an address of somewhere you would define as "reasonable", you could get a better response as to what you should expect.Generally anything above 10% is going to be in a rougher area and/or have significant deferred maintenance in the current investing environment.  

The plan was to mail to these addresses.
