Finding Fixer Upper Properties

[Andrew Diamond]

Hi BiggerPockets Community,

What strategies do you use to identify fixer uppers besides driving for dollars? I'm having a tough time finding these properties and would love your insight!

Many thanks,

Andrew

Checkout the Greater Syracuse Land Bank. They have a website and an instagram account (@syrlandbank). It's essentially a not-for-profit organisation that facilitates the return of vacant and abandoned properties in Syracuse, NY to productive use. I don't know where you're looking for properties, but there might be other organisations with similar programs in other states. 

Also, instagram accounts like Cheap Old Houses (@cheapoldhouses) and others, will always showcase fixer uppers. Typically beautiful houses that require A LOT of work. Whilst those houses may not be the ones you're looking for, I have found that these houses are typically found in neighborhoods with other fixer uppers close by. I hope I've understood your question correctly and best of luck !
