Code violations good?

[Tricia Coke]

Hello everyone. I've been looking around the site for a while and it seems any question you have someone has already answered, but I came across a post where someone suggested going to city hall to get properties with code violations. How would buying a property with code violations be a good thing in regards to wholesaling it?

code violations are awesome!!! most times they're stupid little things, like paint finish is worn on window trim, or door is not weather tight...they're really not that bad, but pages of them can add up if you're hiring a handyman. i just rehabbed a property and i think it had 7 pages of code violations lol...it cost a bunch of money, bc there were larger code violations as well...the best thing to do is talk to the code inspector to see if he'll work with you, and also to see the list of violations...now the code inspectors love me bc i've made their job easier, so they actually send me leads..imagine that! they send me deals and tell me how long the aparments have been vacant, etc. definitely a great niche to at least look into
