Finding Deals – Building Relationships Part 2
Every area will have a local Department of Code Enforcement and Inspections. They will condemn properties and write up properties that have violated the local laws and property codes. You want to build a relationship with these code enforcers because they can be a huge asset to your real estate network. They will know all of the properties that are perfect for wholesaling in your area. They are the ones who write up vacant properties because their grass is too tall, or a property that has the roof falling down and is a hazard to society. They will also write YOU up and come after you if you put your bandit signs all over town. It is considered vandalizing and loitering. So be careful where you put your signs because you want to get on code enforcements good side, not on their bad side.
