Distressed Sellers in NYC

Hello, I am seeing some distressed properties being scheduled for auction at low(for NYC) prices. I can't go up against the deep pockets at the auction. I have a carrot website and an instagram profile. I need to get to these lower cost properties well before the auction. Direct mail? Any other suggestions? I am a landlord too and have a commercial space so can have a meetup there. But, want to get some other ideas.

Thanks!

You can skip trace them and try to contact the owner of those properties. Most of these home owners wont open the mails. DM has very low ROI. Knocking doors or phone calls will have more success rate.

Good luck
