Finding Probate info, Wholesale opp.

[Ryan Bolesky]

So about a year ago, a woman who lived across from my parents passed away in her home. She was found a few weeks later by my Aunt, who hadent seen or heard from her in a while, so she went to check on her. I was living in Florida at the time and my parents live in New York. So time has passed and ive moved back to New York and have begun my investing career. Im currently closing on a two family unit as we speak.

however ive noticed that this property across from my parents has become extremley distressed, it has been vacant now for nearly a year. the lansdcaping has gone terrible, weeds and trees have grown so bad you can barely see the house.

How do i figure out what is going on with this property? this could be a perfect oppurtunity for a wholesale for me, or even a fix and flip since the property is located in a nice country area that many people want to buy in. Ive even considered fixing it up and living in it myself since its so close to my familys residence. Where can i start searching to get information on who owns the property now that she has passed? Im still new to that whole process

Try the County Tax Assessors office.  It sounds like a good deal in the making.
