I suggest that you don't confuse them with regs and codes or try to impress them with quoting the FHA specs. 

if so can i go back with anything or do I have to see if there is a city code?

You will be surprised on what you will learn from a code inspector.  

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my questions @Derrick Craig :) I think Ohio is definitely an area to check out, gonna try and figure out exactly which area codes to target.

@Charles Jacobs Find out if all city/code permits have been pulled for the work that's being done on this fire gutted property it's not the usual someone steals the cooper out the home and plumbers going back in with PVC deal.

If unoccupied leave a note or better yet, go to the post office and see if they have a forwarding address.The fastest and easiest method to locate buyers and sellers is to use a listing service such as ListSource.com, where it will provide you with a list of  buyers/sellers narrowed down to zip code in a particular zip code.

@Jack Knochel 28208 zip code and outlying areas.  

Yeah that's just it is that I am not interested in training someone and paying them taking away time from my business when I can do it faster.Now that doesn't mean I will train them on the small differences but for instance they already have to be highly proficient in Excel, the CRM I use, researching and putting together listings and inputting, back end website updates, marketing out, scheduling appointments, and researching and coding new owners and addresses to target for business.

Particularly to the applicant who "sets the bar" (the one in the first 1/e that scores the highest): If they applied later (or were considered later), they'd have gotten the place, but instead get a rejection letter.
