Code § 1701j–3, it will tell you all about the legalities of the due on sale clause, I agree it is "scurrying around the shadows" but it is 100% O.K. to do if you have to, the lender can not call it due. 

I just got a list of all the vacant properties in the zip code I want to focus on for my first investment.  

My workers live in the 900xx zip codes, they have first hand information on the movements for those zip codes, it's like a special niche, it might tricky but it could be done.

Mike,I sent a batch of about 2,000 postcards to Absentee Owners in select Denver zip codes w/ over 50% equity, whose homes had not traded for at least three years. 

There wasnt as many codes etc back then so it all boils down to how and who built it.I would suggest you have a reliable home inspector or builder look it over and discuss your renovations with them to get the best feedback.

With two new people partnering together it's like having  dumb and dumber (I know you guys are smart, so that's just an expression) partnering  up so that they can burn two years worth of savings on a corperat divorce (not sure if that is faster and cheaper than a real life divorce, ask my friend that is still trying to divide properties after 3 years, many attorneys and many court hearings for code violations...).  

I have a rough idea of a couple of zip codes I'd like to focus on, but I'm unsure of how to vet them out.

IF you still don't see it, it's possibly you either:- Never bought the "Ultimate Package" of the book OR- You didn't use the bonus code when upgrading to BiggerPockets ProHope that helps!
