A good way to locate distressed properties is to go down to your local city hall and visit your city or county building code enforcement agency.

Introduce yourself, let them know that you are in the business of real estate investing. Tell them you are interested in distressed properties and that you rehabilitate these properties. Discuss with them their files on condemned buildings or properties that have multiple violations.

Don’t be shocked when they have no problem showing and discussing this information with you.

Once you have this information contact the owners and discuss possible deals.
