Post: How to buy properties from a city

Greetings everyone,

My name is Miguel and I'm an investor out of the Inland Empire, Southern California. I've been coming across properties that show prime potential investing opportunities but when I try to track the owner/s, title will show that a city owns it, such as Fontana, Rialto and Riverside for example. My question is, "How can I go about buying said property from the city and will the city even allow it?'.... I would greatly appreciate some help from another investor who's had this kind of experience

Thanks,

Miguel Martinez

Hello BP members!

I'm currently flipping a property in Southern California, Inland Empire. My General contractor already did a walk through of the property and he concluded that there are structures and converted spaces that aren't supposed be there. The issue is, how do we find out what was supposed to be there? I took a trip down to my local tax assessors office and planning department, but they gave me the usual run-around of applications, signatures, fees, 30 working business days etc. just to get a copy of the floor plans. Fellow BP members, any advice on how to get a copy of the floor plans for my property without having to take a dreaded trip down to city hall again?

Best regards,

Miguel

Thanks to everyone that replied! Really opened my eyes about direct mail. The most cost effective methods are sure to be the most time consuming but if they produce deals, then it's WORTH IT!

Hey everyone, my name is Miguel and I'm a fix and flip investor based out of Southern California, Inland Empire. I'm currently flipping two properties that were sold to me by a tired landlord. The area I'm rehabbing them in has a lot of potential for more flips and I started thinking if perhaps there were more tired landlords that were willing to sell these properties. I wanted to know what is the best way or cheapest way to find out how many of these houses are rental properties with absentee owners? Without having to look each one up in property radar or the tax assessors office?

best regards

Miguel

Post: Getting mailing address for the owner of a vacant house

My business partner and I are having trouble finding the owner's mailing address for his vacant home in San Bernardino County. Although it is very distressed, it really shows promise in the middle of a quiet neighborhood. I've tried several county records and tax assessor's links, but keep on running into this : Protected per CA Govt. Code Sect. 6254.21.

Any suggestions on how I could find it?

Much appreciated,

Miguel
