How should I proceed when looking at this...potential deal...
This Is kind of an odd story...but I was at one point doing the driving for dollars technique to get some deals...anyway no one returned any letters I sent out...however I stumbled accross a house in a neighborhood where comps are high and the home looks like it needs TLC but is a potential flip for sure...I searched the public record to contact the owner and it says its an estate of someone who was deceased...I have called the county, town assessor, surrogate court and a realtor and no one has any info for a contact person or whom owns this home. Surrogate has no estate listed under the person's name. I looked up the person's obituary and his childrens names are listed. Should I levave this one alone or proceed and contact his children? Not sure if that crosses a line or makes me very eager to get a deal lol. the county did tell me this house is back 2 years ontaxes so will probably be up for auction next year in the tax auction.....opinions?
