I just did a great interview with John Fluker. John is a retired code enforcement official from the city of LA and Compton. He bailed me out of trouble several times. Dealing with code is like a good old boys party that you are not invited to. It was so frustrating. Every time the inspector came down, he found something else wrong. It was not until i hired John that things started to move along. He is some one you need to have on your team if you want to deal with properties that have code violations.
I sat down with him and asked him about abatement properties. The city has this process that if you do not fix your code violations in a specific time period, they will bull doze the house.
I thought this would be a good way to find properties where the owner is really really motivated to act. So many times we see ugly properties that are boarded and fenced and do not know what to do about it- even if the lot is empty. We also talked about adverse possession.
This is such a great interview. These interviews i do with people who should be on your team is one of the best perks of membership.
Members, be sure to log in and listen to this interview as well as some of the past ones. There are also lots of articles and past audios of when we used to record our meetings.
