Two people on Deed and the bother wont answer sister's calls

[Dustin Little]

I have a motivated seller who has two houses with her name and her brother's name on the deeds.  The houses are in Ohio, is there a way to legal remove the brother's name?  I am thinking a public notice or something along those lines.

Please help this could possibly be my first wholesale deal and it involves two houses!

Thanks

This ain't a wholesale deal. It's a deal for a sophicated investor.

If I were working it, I'd buy Sister's share for 10-20 cents on dollar, then give Brother a chance to buy me out. He could use purchase money note.

If he did not cooperate, I would sue for Quiet Title and Partition Action.

Better be enough meat on the bone to make the hassle worthwhile. If not, walk.
