What other programs do other people use to get addresses to dispute these? 

OTRCH operates a couple of what I call "wet rehab" centers meaning congregate housing for persons otherwise homeless and there are several other agencies like "First Step House" etc. that might be interested in a presence in this block.Or you could cut your losses and put it back on the market under the "greater fool theory."  

Hi everyone, I just came across this thread, and wanted to address a few items.

My goal is to rehab it first then move in as my primary residence.

The bigger issues that need to be addressed by the operating agreement are how you deal with disagreements. 

I have recently started writing down addresses of run down or abandoned properties that I would like to purchase, but I only have the owner's name.

The more rehabs you do the better understanding you will have of the market for contacting work and materials.Doing a rehab every so often prevents you from being sharp with your budget.For those with limited exposure, ask others in the industry and always run your numbers based on being overbudget and overtime. 

FYI that the address listed as the mailing address for the city notices is still the property address. 

Unfortunately, I’ve run into a major issue: I received a Stop Work Notice on my property in Covington, GA, because I didn’t have the proper permits for the renovations.I want to resolve this as quickly and smoothly as possible without jeopardizing the project.Can anyone offer advice or share their experience with:1.How to address the Stop Work Notice with the local authorities?
