How about making up fliers? I'm not sure but if you gave one to each
house on a block where you found an "open" house then it might be like
you are advertising your services to a greater base, and not
approaching just the one house.
I wouldn't however just start going up to people and show them how you
can get into their network and view their tax papers; then you would
get into that extortion realm.
