Morbid question... buying dead peoples houses

[Kyle Plants]

Not sure if wholesaling is really the appropriate category for this topic. Anyways, I’ve been thinking about how I want to start finding some single family and multi family homes to invest in a buy and hold Strategy. One idea I was thinking about is getting to know some local funeral homes and inquiring with them if the have customers that might have a relative that has passed and has a house that the family wants to get rid of. Maybe a funeral home might not be the best, maybe an agent. Has anyone ever done this? If so, what method was effective?
