Now, if you're just doing it yourself, you can CHECK addresses on the USPS website for small lists.

However since it was a commercial building, I did a search on the mailing address for the tax bill which was in Los Angeles county in CA.

Yet, every time I meet with my CPA, he gives me ideas on how to structure my business, how to leverage deductions, etc, in order to save many, many times the amount of money he charges me (which is quite a bit less than $3K).So, while you may be comfortable doing your own taxes, consider that there are other reasons for having a great tax professional on your team...the great ones will save you much more than they cost.This isn't necessarily addressed to you, Seth, but to others who wonder if they should be going it alone...

I'll try to address your specific question about the repair costs.

Do names, addresses, dates and payments match with what you are being told?

If the utilities don't automatically revert to the landlord, call the power company every few days to see if the power was switched to another address or shut off.

I like getting all property addresses that are part of an estate, decedent's name, PR, heirs and attorney contact info.

I'm going to try to address all of the issues in one post.

what did the credit report give for previous addresses of this guy?

My plan was to break down the owner's address by ZIP and spend a Saturday going to each ZIP and door knocking.
