A CO is ideal but you may also find this info on a tax assessment from the 1980's or earlier as well.

If you aren't able to find things online, you could certainly contact the specific building/inspections departments of the cities in which you're buying, and they can likely share pertinent information.Keep in mind, some cities don't even require TISH inspecitons at the time of sale, and most properties will have plenty of minor code violations regardless (I've seen numerous TISH reports miss things as easy as smoke detector requirements).I don't have any good ideas on the high-equity absentee owner lists - someone working full-time on the buying side would be better suited for that question.Good luck!

Originally everything was running smooth, the single family row home was in good shape and had long term renters I was looking to take over.The property had minor problems but what made the deal so intriguing was the tenants had been doing all the work on the property themselves and for a first time home owner/ investor it was an ideal situation.Fast forward to now: Covid 19 has interrupted our every day life as well as the closing, my closing date was pushed back from april 13th to approximately may 22nd and now the tenants have advised the owner they will be vacating the property as of may 2nd.

With these real methods, you can laser focus on your ideal target audience.

People who can help find off-market deals are of great value, and agents who invest themselves are ideal.

It’s a 3-1 house in Missouri (I know 3-1s are tough to sell J Scott).Paid $19K in cash needs about $35K in rehab with an ARV of $130K.Amid the coronavirus with unemployment going up and demand going down I know it’s not an ideal time to be flipping, but I feel a house for $60K is hard to lose on.

It's obviously not ideal.  1.1 dscr and likely around 7% with a 25-30% down payment.
