code violations

[Josiah Santillana]

Hi I'm trying to start up investing and find my first deal. I was taught to find properties with code violations and market to them because they may be motivated to sell and so I was able to get a list of properties with active code violations from the city department. I have 10 pages worth of properties and the violations range from junk and trash in the yard, to deteriorated roofs, and unpermitted work. So now that I have this list what should my next step be? Like how do I know which ones are worth marketing to? and whether I can find my first deal through this method?
Thanks for the help everyone!
