The lack of upkeep starts to show and you can tell just by driving by what's going on.

This is why you see drive planning raising $300M ponzi when it offered 40% returns.

Just to really drive the point home on how easy most of these owners are to find if you're using a true quality skip trace service, feel free to message me and I'll personally run a couple for you and send you full reports on the owners and possibly the owners' relatives if I see anything that makes me think you should be contacting relatives.  

On a practical basis, I've never heard of a lender doing drive bys after the close of escrow to make sure you are still there.

@Ted Akers  yes for instance this would not work well in WA with the excise tax of 1.78% or there about on title transfers.this was a low end deal in GA so it was a normal wholesaler approach I think the guy made 10k on the deal we made a few bucks and they absorbed the one closing costs and transfer tax which was probably nominal I would have to look at the hud.I can see this working in states were double escrows are not allowed any more... or if a wholesaler wanted to put to bed the thought that they are selling re without a license.. you know the wild wild west out there in that industry were basically anything goes   until it does not  LOL.I am NMLS mortgage banker sitting in the bullpen.. my license is on ICE but I do the CE.. just don't want to have to take the test again incase I want to jump back into doing HML.. so for right now taking title is a clear path.. no securities issues no licensing issues.. etc etc.. and 100% control. the only way I will do this these days.. but then again my clients are well known to me for more than a decade most of them and they are high volume flippers etc... so we have a lot going on...

- What driving factors should I take into account when l'm looking for an up n' coming hot markets?

Seems like a worthy niche for a (REI) developer to drive a wedge, into?

Consider direct mail campaigns targeting homeowners who might be ready to sell and spend time driving around looking for distressed properties.

Slightly worried about higher personal retaliation or damage to property than if I were driving an ordinary car, incognito car.Thank you BP!

I asked my roof contractor to remove the skylight and replace it with a normal roof as well (which he did a few days back).My tenant is saying to the PM that he is getting medical testing done now due to mold related health issues.
