You the pilot fish get an easy snack or information and lesson and the shark your mentor gets to stay healthy and clean.

For the non-owner occupant places I've worked mostly with commercial lenders.

I went up to the house to do cleaning and inspect the property and found that they had broke the door frame of the front-exterior door causing the door not to shut. 

Illinois REIA members use REIPro to locate vacant, non owner occupied and pre foclosure properties. 

I have definitely been listening to the podcasts non stop. 

That's why if you ever see a REO contract (bank owned), it will almost always state "non assignable".  

Maybe it will be similar to the non-accredited investor for 506(b) offerings.

Other non-code enforcement issues I look for when doing inspections on my own: change air filter, check to make sure toilets are not running, run water in sinks and check drain pipes for leaks, check for signs of unauthorized pets, check to make sure all windows operate, check all GFCI outlets with a tester and make sure they reset. 

In the previous example I just cut the tree down and had roto rooter clean the line out one final time.

I guess nothing similar in Ontario for non-brokers.
