Junker with violation?

[Jerome Harrod II]

Starting from the top. Now during my hunt for Junkers, I came across a house in relatively good shape in my own neighborhood. A pretty house, It just had overgrown grass and weeds in front and back, broken wooden fence that allowed me entrace to the back of the house, the screen of a the backdoor was ripped into and the deck in the back was torn down. ARV of this house is $140K and I see only $15K of work needed, not a bad deal, but the problem is that it has a notice on the front door.

Now on the front door, I see papers that this house was closed due to a violation. Before I contact the seller, I want to ask if properties closed due to violations be wholesaled? Is this like a foreclosure property or a Bank owned property?

Jerome,
Call the code enforcement department about the violation, then ask your assessor or online about propertie owner or any liens/mortgage.
