Driving for Dollar$$
I went driving for dollars today and I noticed some distressed homes that could be used to wholesale, but they didn't a FOR SALE sign up. Instead they had paper taped to them with padlocks on the front door. I wrote down the address to some of those homes I saw, but do those papers mean that the home is abandoned? Can someone please explain what they mean if not?

Most distressed homes you find will not have a FOR SALE sign posted. The padlock and papers may be a sign of an eviction and/or code violation (possible motivation). I would continue to pursue these leads by trying to identify the owners.
