Welcome to the new blog portion of my website. I'm going to be discussing issues that arise in code enforcement and invite comments and ideas from you. In today's difficult economic environment, we're all struggling with how to perform our jobs with decreasing resources. We're being confronted with new challenges daily due to the foreclosure crisis (ever try to find a live person to speak with about pipes bursting in subzero weather in a foreclosed house with mold growing so bad the residence can't be salvaged?) In my practice as a municipal prosecutor, I deal with these questions daily. I'm also interested in how effective code enforcement can reduce crime in a community and I will be writing about that issue. While I can't give legal advice on this blog, I will be pointing out interesting cases that may be useful to you.National Property Preservation Conference to be held in Washington D.C.
September 25th, 2009
Once again, Kelly Anbach, a whiz on the internet and inspector in Hinsdale, IL, has found something of interest that I’d like to share. There is a conference in Washington D.C., the National Property Preservation Conference 2009, put on by the mortgage service industry. It’s being held November 4 - 6, 2009. Representatives of the mortgage industry, local government and the federal government are attending. Here is the link https://www.safeguardproperties.com/register/dc09/?p=1 It looks like it will cover many of the issue we are all concerned about.
Category(ies): Foreclosure, property maintenance
As a newer player in this industry it has not been easy! But in my opinion it is really the only way to make steady money in real estate. I also think that this is the tip of the iceburg. The foreclosures are going to do nothing but increase. The commercial is going to be the next victim.
Although we want to be busier, in just a few short months we have gone from no customers to a few customers who give us repeat business. Not great yet, but it seems to get better each month.
These national conferences seem to be better suited for the larger national PP companies like Safeguard Properties.
We are just a couple of guys that have hit on something that we are beginning to make money at.
See what we have done in just a few short months!
