Hello, I am looking to buy a property in Dallas Fort Worth are specifically in zip code 76115 that I want to flip.

My goal for access is smart phone first, ideally an electronic keypad on the same lock (that’s opebed via smart phone) second, last line of defense is a key box outside the unit with a code that we only give to tenants in event of a lockout.

Before this short discussion spins too much further out of control, I would like to point out that I'm not advertising to God and everybody in my target zip codes. 

A Code Department memo issued July 19 this year reports more than 10,000 active STR properties in the city, only 2,500 of which are registered in accordance with the current ordnance. 

I have attended a few workshops and events put on by a company called Maxable Space, they are a local company helping people with everything ADU related and are very knowledgeable on the topic.https://maxablespace.comAlso note that if you’re looking in the City of San Diego, the code refers to these units as “companion units” or “jr. companion units”.

We can apply for variances but they are tough to get because of parking, lot size & more stringent code required unit size, egress etc restrictions.

Any sites to get lien info, code enforcement tickets ? 

Hi, I'm weighing paying someone drive for dollars to gather beat up house leads to use for skip tracing the owner, vs gathering probate and building code violation lists and mailing the residences and probate recipients. 

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

You can also buy lists from companies like list source and there are some REI software companies that have a cash buyer search feature.Best way to find motivated sellers is to purchase lists and compile lists from city and county for 60-90-120 days late on mortgage, pre-foreclosure, delinquent taxes, water cutoff, code violation, probate, divorce, high equity, etc. and mail or cold call.Other free methods are driving for dollars, door knocking, wholesalers, craigslist, Realtors, FSBO sites, expired listings, foreclosure sites, put out bandit signs, If you have the funds you can use billboards, newspaper ads, other offline publications., TV commercials, radio ads, do pay per click/adwords, facebook, Linkedin, Youtube, and other forms of online advertising and boosted/promoted social media postings.Bottom line is consistency.
