The Great Depression is coming again but I would bet not for another 10 years. 

Your best bet is to ask the Seller to pull credit or to have a specific disclosure executed granting you permission from the Borrower to pull credit.  

Have all the BP special books, rich dad poor dad on audio, real estate rewind, 7 years 7 figure wealth..Any recommendations I can cram into my load out, must be able to be put onto my tablet.  

THAT is what a hard working person can do if they start young and are disciplined. that is a true story, and he started out dirt poor. 

. ;)@Craig Pfeffer @Rolanda Eldridge I bet you both will keep your eyes open for fire damaged houses now!

I dont know of anything right now that fits what you're looking for off hand, but there are some neat products coming out these days, I bet there's something out there that'd work for you, I've seen some stuff for out of country investors. 

I noticed others bid high on high end properties betting on getting paid off with a high rate of return and worse case ending up with the property.  

In fact when, and it looks like the day is coming, we can no longer discriminate because of bad credit (some say poor credit and minorities go hand in hand and if you don't rent to poor credit people you are discriminating against minorities) will be when I move into low cost section 8 rentals and will no longer deal with nicer properties.

Second when you say "not to code" do you mean poorly constructed or do you mean that the lateral's actual physical location was not approved to run across the neighboring property?

The body was un-related to the fire and the poor fellow had been there for nearly five years - corner says he died in June 2010 (suicide was the cause put forward) and somehow none of the tenants smelled the decomposing body during that first summer.I promptly called the owner and offered to buy the property - hoping it was sufficiently damaged to warrant a teardown.
