Take photos of the issues.then you find the owners on the county assessor site, and send them a personal letter and pic of the property saying you drove past and noticed this house, that you were not sure if anyone was living there but you were interested in buying the property. while you are sending out these letters you should try and find any of the following:private money, hard money, flipping partners, landlords, cash buyers, etcyou can find these people on BP, or go to a title company and ask who has been buying in that area for cash over the last couple years, you could ask your family members, etc.Now when you get calls back from the homes you drove by, you already have the exit strategies. anyway, that was a condensed version of driving for dollars so if you have any questions about that, feel free to reach out to me or anyone else here on BPAdam Adams

However based on the photos I have seen, there are minimal repairs necessary for the property, and as result I do not know if my end buyer will be able to use hard money financing for the project.

I'm in Memphis, so if you ever want some "boots on the ground" to take photos, check out a neighborhood, talk to folks, etc. please let me know.

I'd keep the boxes of trash they left for 30 days and take photos of condition at move out.

Some casual photos can hardly pass sniff test imho.
