Do I think the fire dept could have communicated more clearly upfront, maybe, but they did mail out to all registered owners the standards. 

My property taxes more than doubled once the county found out I was renting it out and not living there - they mailed me something and it bounced back showing them California address (mail forwarding lasts a year).

It was maintained on outside but a fair amount of junk. 

I understand the argument that the general public should not be restricted from investing in “highly profitable” deals, but what tends to end up being offered to unaccredited, unsophisticated investors in the “junk” end of the investment spectrum. 

I populate all my own mailing lists, which typically involve only motivated sellers (high equity, divorce, probate, foreclosure, tax foreclosure, etc.).

I would honestly recommend getting on mailing lists for properties.

LeadSherpa is a good service i had a lot of experience with if you want to go that route.The two best strategies I’ve found are inbound methods: direct mail and Google Ads.Direct mail can be expensive, but it can also yield highly discounted properties.Google Ads, on the other hand, doesn’t require data extraction like calls, direct mail, or texting.

As far as finding deals, my plan is to start a mailing campaign and go the wholesaling route.

Most places have online property search tools that will give you the owner's name and mailing address for free.

What important business mail will be coming to what will now be your old address?
