When I’d send out my bird dogs, I always told them to look for houses that had tall grass, lots of mail on the front porch, obvious signs that he house needs repairs, and especially needed roof repairs. Signs that a roof needs to be replaced are curled up shingles or blue tarps covering leaks.
If the owner could afford to get their roof fixed, they would. If they cannot afford to get their roof fixed, it is a potential deal.
You can also TRADE roof repair leads to roofing companies in exchange for them sending you all the people who cannot afford to get their roof fixed. Win -Win for both of you.

There is also the more rare case of a home insurance company deliberately stiffing the homeowner. I have a friend in Aledo, TX who suffered about $25,000 worth of roof damage in an awful hail storm about 12 years ago. His insurer began rolling out every excuse in the book not to pay off — lost paperwork, need to change contractors for an estimate, change of manager, etc, etc. That nasty song and dance went on for FIVE FULL YEARS until my friend simply gave up — which was the insurance company’s scammer intention all along. The tarps on his roof did last several years however.Oh, you might be curious which insurance company of weasels that was — Farmer’s.
So a tarp on the roof might just be an unsettled foodfight (that’s the cleaned up expression) with an insurance company.
