Code violations and city liens serve as distress signals from property owners who are often burned out or facing financial difficulties, creating perfect opportunities for off-market real estate deals. By positioning yourself as the solution to these problems, you can access discounted properties that most investors overlook.
• Call or visit your city's code enforcement office to request open code violations lists
• Search for properties with municipal or tax liens at your city/county clerk's office
• Consider paid services like PropStream that compile public records of violations
• Market directly to distressed owners with empathetic, solution-focused messaging
• Real-world success story: purchasing a four-unit building at 50% discount from an owner facing multiple code violations
• Approach owners with humanity, recognizing they're dealing with stress or financial problems
