Private Lending, you could find an individual with lots of money that is willing to lend it out to you if you find a smoking deal.

I'm going to mail them a SODA via certified mail.A smoke detector was unplugged and I was not notified, tenant was only one cooking.

If you aren't able to find things online, you could certainly contact the specific building/inspections departments of the cities in which you're buying, and they can likely share pertinent information.Keep in mind, some cities don't even require TISH inspecitons at the time of sale, and most properties will have plenty of minor code violations regardless (I've seen numerous TISH reports miss things as easy as smoke detector requirements).I don't have any good ideas on the high-equity absentee owner lists - someone working full-time on the buying side would be better suited for that question.Good luck!

You also need an egress window or door of sufficient size, a smoke detector and a carbon monoxide detector (if you have gas heat/appliances).

Some people are hunkering down and will wait for the smoke to clear before thinking about buying, selling, flipping, or anything else. 

They lost money the first year, made a little month next year and smoked it last year. 

Non-smoking violations, illegal activity, tenant created safety hazards (i.e. removing all the smoke detectors etc.) are included in this category.

I guess there weren't any operable smoke alarms, either, since she said the fire was pretty much out of control by the time she realized anything was wrong.The landlord's son is now trying to help his mom get back on her feet, while my friend is trying to get help from a housing aid organization (not easy in the middle of this quarantine situation!).

Once the smoke clears, any tenant that has failed to pay rent will be subject to the unpaid balance, including late fees and any other applicable penalties.

Not sure why it was up so much this past week, seems like major smoke and mirrors.
