so i was driving 4 dollars and I came across a boarded up house that is listed as owner occupied (obviously its not) I used propstream found its under and estate and I am assuming the owner on record died recently.

@Daniel Hankins--I'm right on board up until it says "Sorry for formatting errors from pasting from google drive".I love and agree with the positive, git-er-done theme of that first part.  

You won't be able to tour the property (although you can obviously do drive-bys).

In contrast the 2020 recession is an outcome of a pandemic which is causing economic havoc but homeowners and lenders all seem to be in much better standing now.So what drives this thinking that home prices are going to crash the same way they did in 2008?

She claimed that her landlord did not maintain the property and a drive past the house confirmed it.   

I plan to use the drive-thru neighborhoods technique to locate distressed properties and attempt to contact the owners to see if they're interested in selling.

@Ron Crain -I was using pipe drive and really enjoyed its simplicity. 

I struggle with taking action and never had much of an entrepreneurial drive honestly.

I could use some help driving for Dollars. 

Once you have this narrower list then do drive buys to check out the neighborhoods And how the places are taken care of.
