Unless you are familiar with codes and the correct way to do things.  

I was quoted a 21% rate from a vacation property mgr in the area who promotes across the board (and charges me the set-up costs for that too).

It will go from looking like an old 'WOBBLY BOX' trailer to a quaint beach cottage and will mix in well with the 92024 zip code which BTW is one of the highest valued per capita zips in San Diego County.Sure it will cost me 175k plus 1k/mth to purchase, rebuild and sub lease this home but the good news is I can get about 2500/mth on it while it continues to appreciate due to is very desirable location of less than 300 feet from Beacons Beach; one of the best surf breaks on the planet.Like I said everything is relative.

Where can I find the listings of Charlotte / Mecklenberg county code enforcement violations?

Put electronic locks on entry door to house, and each bedroom door. you can easily change the door codes when someone vacates..

These zip codes could offer a 9+% return on the purchase price if you buy right.  

FYI I live in Royal Oak, MI I fat fingered my zip code and it won't let me make a change
