I’m a property data engineer in Atlanta and I spend a lot of time digging through municipal records and complaint activity.One thing that surprised me recently was how often squatter-related signals are showing up in city records tied to specific properties.When you start combining complaint activity, vacancy indicators, and certain types of incident patterns, you can sometimes see signals that suggest unauthorized occupancy before anything shows up in foreclosure or auction data.I pulled together a short report while analyzing the patterns and noticed that several hundred properties across the city are showing some type of squatter-related signal.Curious if anyone investing in Atlanta has run into this more often recently.

Hi BP community,I've been studying off-market property patterns and analyzing public data trends related to distressed and absentee-owned properties.One thing I've noticed is that many motivated sellers tend to fall into repeatable categories (vacancy signals, tax delinquencies, long-term ownership, etc.).For active investors:When you evaluate an off-market opportunity, what early indicators make you pay attention vs. ignore it?
