Having Problems w/Code Violation & Out of State

[Jon Carcone]

I'm having problems getting lists of properties in northern virginia with code violations and with out of state owners. I've called a couple of times and keep getting told by the courthouse that they don't have lists of properties meeting these criteria and the only way they can tell you if the owner is out of state or has a code violation is to give the property's address.

I am planning to go down in person and try that way, but do you guys have any tips? Are there counties where they really don't provide lists of properties meeting those criteria?

Thanks
