It's no secret that finding a vacant property can be challenging. But, it does not need to be! In this blog post, we'll cover some ways to find a vacant property .

To help eliminate any unnecessary legwork, it is helpful to learn as much information about real estate in an area before beginning the hunt. You can search realtor websites that post real-time listings and information on foreclosures, developing neighborhood trends, and more information.

In this research phase, you sometimes just stumble upon a property that has been abandoned. They can be listed or not. But nonetheless, it's not uncommon to find a property that has been empty for a while.

This leads to another way you can find out who owns vacant real estate: networking. Maybe a neighbor knows of a house? Or maybe someone in community relations? Someone always knows someone who knows something. Being within a few degrees of finding a vacant property is also a tactic. And all its takes is just asking around.

Another way is going onto the county website. Oftentimes, code violations for example are made public. House that have a large number of code violations allude to an abandoned property.

Of course, knowing of any realtors who are listing vacant properties is an easy method too. Depending on the number of days on market and condition on the house, the price can be negotiable and work in an investor's favor.

For those who prefer the old fashioned way of finding property deals, another good tip is simply driving around looking in neighborhoods. Look for clues like overgrown lawns, mailbox overflowing with mail, boarded up windows, and cracks in the foundation. Examples like these also allude to abandonment.

It’s not always easy to find a vacant property. That said, there are some ways you can increase your chances of locating the perfect one for you and your family!
