I inspect all my houses, know the codes very well and am very critical of how things are done. and he does great work when he wants to.

Both of these members are usually required by code for a conventionally framed building.

Can you put up the OMG code so the pics will display?

Hi Shannon,You could contact your local title company and either ask them to compile a list for you or request a "title log on profile" and play with the system yourself by typing in the zip code, foreclosures, absentee owners, etc.

Contact a realtor with access to the MLS.Have them pull cash transactions for all zip codes.When you get the data, tally up where most investors are buying.Keep in mind some of the data will be owner occupants so you may want to do a separate report on non-owner occupied.Once you understand this find out what the average sales price is for your county and target the zip code with less than 120% of this number for your mailings and marketing (online/offline).I hope this helps.Randy

Probably would be some sort of code violation here though.

Code enforcement had me pull a permit for replacing exterior doors, windows, some siding, and I couldn't reshingle the roof without permits.

When I had to fatten up my buyers list I went to my favorite realtor and had them run a report of all the short-sale and REO properties in zip code xxxxx (insert zip code of area where you want to buy properties here) knowing full well that the buyers of these properties will probably be cash rehab investors who flip houses.I took that report to the county clerks office and looked up the deeds for those properties which gave me the purchaser(cash buyer) and their address.Some of those same purchasers had bought several properties for cash in the last 12 months.I then sent them all a form letter stating that I have come across fixer properties to call me to discuss future fixer's I may come across.

You can also make sure all of your houses are in good shape and up to code, which will reduce the chances of a complaint regarding condition.
