Hi so this will be my first deal its a great deal but theres a problem because the woman selling the house isn't from Michigan, she's from Illinois. Her brother died in late march he left her the house she's been in and out of Michigan getting his paperwork together. Recently she went to wayne county treasury to get the home in her name but just like her i don't know all the proper steps to make sure she has the right to do a quit claim deed. i just know she wants to be done with this and move on with her life. I need help so i can tell her what she needs to do next. Please help so i can get this deal done.
The house is in Detroit on the east side on the outskirts of east English village the area is ok it'll turn soon i believe but the street the house is on is great no vacant homes solid neighborhood. It's originally a 3 bed 1.5 bath 1 kitchen 1 car garage but the previous owner put a fourth room in the basement also finished the basement along with another kitchen down there so 2 kitchens, plus new roof, windows and cement within the last 2 years. i know this because i knew the guy personally.
