The owner's sibling was currently living in the home, and the owner's concern was the relocation of the brother.

An example; An owner contacts you saying the hold an undivided interest in a property with a sibling who refuses to sell, they want to sell and they are willing to take a lower than market value.

Do you have siblings, parents, etc. that would co-sign on the loan for you?

I can often figure out who is the oldest child; I then skip trace him/her, and the other siblings, until I find a listed phone number, or a local address.

Siblings, cousins, uncles... those tend to be the messier ones.Buy the house that's going to make you money, not the one that makes you feel good.

It's ok to stay in touch with family as you're now an insiders, but you don't want to be brought into any type of later dispute if there are fights between siblings.

My parents and siblings are still there.

No spouses names were added to the deed just the 3 siblings.

She and her 3 siblings evidently have the property tied up in a lawsuit - but the 3 siblings have not made any tax payments. 

I'm thinking I may take it over, fix it up and put it back on the market hoping to make a bit more of a profit, either for me and siblings or I will just buy it outright.
