This reminded me of a conversation I had with a business owner in southern Florida. I was showing him a demo of some mapping technology I had played around with and mentioned that I was also involved in some web crawling and NLP stuff. He mentioned the following opportunity.
If you could crawl and scrape public records to determine when the Air/Conditioning units had last been replaced at each property and then map it. He was convinced that HVAC companies have a good sense of the age of units that are needing replacement. One would generate lead maps specific to properties so that a sales person could focus only on the properties that had units approaching replacement age. This was around 2010. I poked around in the public records a bit and decided I wasn't the right person - even if technically possible.
I am not sure of the market validity of this idea but you might be better suited to this kind of thing than I was.
