Found an abandoned property

[David J. Tagliaferro]

Driving to my nieces house I noticed an abandoned property along the way.

I checked the local tax assessor rolls online and found the owners name but he's deceased. I found out that a local attorney is the c/o listed.

I took a drive to the property and looked around the place. It looks like its been empty for a long time. It really is in pretty rough shape but i'm thinking of contacting this attorney for more info and if it may be available for sale as a rehab and flip. It looks to be an extensive rehab. I have a really good contractor that I can trust but it will be

my first delve into real estate investing.

My question is if I should take on a major rehab as my first RE venture and has anyone experienced going through something like this? I know this a wide open ended question but any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
