Locate a list of the condemned properties in your area.

I bet you did not know the home of the Super
Bowl Champs the "Baltimore Ravens" had over
40,000 vacant properties scattered around what
we call Charm City did you?

These types of properties can put huge wads of
cash in your pocket. In Baltimore, the city has
made it very easy to obtain the list of condemned
properties in our marketplace and they have even
segmented them in all of the different neighborhoods.

If your city hasn't caught up with the times you
need to petition for them to put everything online
because it's going to make your job as a flipper a
thousand times easier.

Don't worry if your city or county does not have
this information online, simply take some time out
to visit your local municipality building where you
pay those irritating parking tickets and unbearable
water bills and start asking the staff there where you
can get a list of the condemned properties in your area.

You can also visit your marketplaces' planing and
zoning department or real estate offices, asking the
staff there if they have a list of condemned properties
that you can have or view.

The properties on these lists have been vacant for
probably years and the owners have just thrown in
the towel and given up.

These houses are eye soars that sometimes become avens for crime for neighborhoods and communities.
In the Manual I have included detailed instructions
on title work, scripts and pit falls when dealing with
these types of properties.
