This time of year, people are going to be on vacation and distracted with personal business.Note I'm talking about individual properties.

You'll have extra maintenance and a lot of vacancies due to summers and drop outs.

My county lets you get individual information for specific properties, but charges a fee if you want a list of all filings each week.

Why give more money to the same individuals responsible for running these companies into the ground while at the same time, increasing their own personal net worth ten fold?!?!?!?

My suggestion is to look at each individual property and see if it will cash flow.

I have done this in the past and it went through FHA, however, a few extra documents and signatures were required.

I am looking for like minded individuals to partner up with in the Memphis market.

Doug, thanks for the input.There is one extra step with code violation, and that is you need to look up the address of the owner, because often the violation property is not owner occ.What sort of message would you use on a postcard for this?

Officials launched a foreclosure-prevention program to help homeowners who have fallen behind on their mortgage, with loans of up to $7,500 per household.The city also recently passed an ordinance requiring owners of abandoned homes _ whether an individual or bank _ to register those properties with the city so police can better monitor them.Elsewhere around the country, advocates in Cleveland are working with the city to allow homeless people to legally move into and repair empty, dilapidated houses.

There is nothing stopping you from picking up a extra job and working more to pay off your CC debt.
