Buying A Home – Searching For Distressed Vacant Properties
In order to find distressed properties, investors utilize several different methods. One strategy is to drive around the neighborhood looking for vacant, ugly homes. You can tell a house is vacant by looking through the windows. Just be careful not to be obvious or you could get shot, bitten by a dog, or arrested by the police. Some signs to look out for include: tall grass, windows without shades, boarded up windows, trash, newspapers on the front lawn or doorstep, excessive mail. If you’re unsure whether a property is vacant, try knocking on the front door. If someone answers the door, be nice and ask if he or she is interested in selling their home. Many times homes are rented out, so you’ll need to ask for the name and phone number of the owner. It’s important to remember not to visit these properties alone at night.
