I like to look for board orders, excessive fines for weeds/grass, stop orders, and unsecured premises. 

in our area that is a real big deal.. we did another demo and left a few pieces of flooring an inspector came on our job determined they had asbestos in them and we violated taking asbestos items to the regular land fill.. that cost me 19k in fines and 18k in lawyer fees to keep the fines from being really big..

If you want to work with me great, but if not, that's perfectly fine too!

I had a wild old man call me one time when I first started sending out yellow letters asking me why I wanted to buy his house when I live in a perfectly fine house.  

It's a very sustainable and resilient structure.As to the balloon, my attorney has told me that balloons after 60 months and done through an RMLO are fine under Dodd Frank.

So I owe two homes that I'm renting out, one tenant is paying just fine but the other tenant owes me two months of non-payment and are not paying since she's been unemployed.

But fyi, investing in some areas of LA county are fine.

Large basement and attic space, new roof and some of the kitchen is already torn out from the current owner. one bedroom does have a closet that will need built. plumbing seems fine, maybe a couple angle stops to change.

Code § 1715z–19 - Equity skimming penalty"shall be fined not more than $500,000, imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both."

I’m fine with immigration, but they have to be vetted and qualified.
