i'd look up the owners and send them a letter or a postcard. right now i'm slowly building a list the same way. i have around 20 properties locally that i've noticed that are in various stages of disrepair.

They needed to give notice (there's 30 days right there).

I noticed that myself, you know half the forum being from Texas...but welcome anyway from ohio!

If you have already purchased a home for youself.....you are farther ahead in the game than you know.

THat should be dicslosed so you should know ahead of time.

Doing this ahead of time makes the deals move so much faster and provides the help you'll need before you need it.

I have commercial rentals with good bumps in the leases to keep me ahead or at least even with inflation and we structure the leases from 3-5 years depending on the building and tenant.

One I have noticed 2 different bandit signs that say something to the nature of stop forcloser or we buy houses, I have seen two different ones on the way home from work.

I guess it's the thought of all the work that lies ahead.

And I noticed that online listings frequently say anything about access or even if the land is on a hillside!
