OfflineI found a unique way of finding vacant properties and want to share it with you so you can utilize it. Recently I was networking and talking with a local firefighter and realized they use The local tax website for firefighting related uses. I learned that vacant houses are a focus for them so they can keep a record of who what and where these properties are so they will know that no one is inside 99 % if there is a fire. It's not 100/% but they at least keep a record of these. This was an eye opener for me as I inquired about getting this list and saving myself some work. I also offered my assistance to save them some work with what I had done for investigating vacants and in the process developed a team effort. I hope you can use this info to mastermind with your local fire dept to make it a win win effort and find some gold mines along with creating goodwill in your community !!
Always be creative!!

Not sure if they'll diverge that information. They might want to protect it to avoid from getting into the hands of vagrants and druggies.
This information is probably also protected by law. The liability issue to disburse such records would be very high.
P.S. - Everything else is immaterial, irrelevant, and unnecessary.
Thanks for the great tip. I know a couple of firefighters that tip me off to burn houses but did not think of this angle.
I know for a fact that the Fire Dept will work with reputable REI companies. Just like the county, banks, much less neighbors, they all appreciate when we come in, fix up the vacants, raise property values and clean up the neighborhood.
You just have to be smart enough to make the proper presentation! We are rocking it here in Colorado and several other states and have added wholesaling Condos of all things.. The 98% that say things wont work make it easier for us to do business!! They know all the reasons why things wont work. The 2% make it happen by overcoming others obstacles.
Thanks again Jay, I'll let you know if I have success using your tip. (I might have to buy you dinner at EDGE 2016)

Jay thanks for the great tip I did ask a local firefighter who told me no they couldn't give me that info but I will keep pushing and make the right presentation like Michael says.
And so true Michael, we keep pushing until we break through, if a door doesn't open then let's break it down
I will now actually call the offices' of the fire dept to ask to help keep these numbers of these vacant homes down since it is blight on the community.

Go faster do more! GFDM!
You said it !! I believe they will not just Give it to anyone , you will have to know someone or build a great rapport with someone so they know like and trust you to give you this info.
This is not a way to just call up and ask them for the info because they i am sure they will not give it out ,you will have to go to a trusted friend or business person / firemen and work with them to get it because they will have to trust that you are not going to use it in the wrong way as said above. This would be a secret weapon so to speak but hopefully it works for you too and let me know how it works out .BE careful Michael I eat a lot lol
