I'm too Poor for a VA but my Schedule is Packed
Hi all—I've been struggling with pulling code violations from the county without paying for VAs or expensive tools, and I know a lot of people here have been too. I spent some time working through it last week, and here’s a simple way I solved it fully automatically for less than $30/m: 1. Use Apify to scrape the county’s public code-violation page on a schedule 2. Have it extract the table data (address, violation, date, status) and push everything automatically into Google Sheets 3. Add an AI cleanup step with n8n or make.com to fix formatting, and tag high-priority leads 4. Send the final clean list into a simple sheet so you can instantly sort, filter, and export for skip tracing or outreach If anything is unclear, let me know. Hope this helps you 🙏
