Purchasing empty property from landlord in prison

[Luke Williams]

Hi all,

I’ve recently noticed a whole host of properties on our street that are currently without tenants and have been neglected. From conversations with previous tenants, the landlord is currently serving a prison sentence having inherited the properties unexpectedly. These properties would produce good value if purchased and flipped and I was wondering if anyone has had any similar experiences purchasing such properties when you can’t easily contact the current landlord?

Thanks,

Luke
