Here’s the context:The house appears vacant, with a large tree that has fallen on the property.From what I can see, the house seems full of furniture and might even be a hoarder home.I’ve skip-traced the property and found that the owner has unfortunately passed away.The house seems to be mortgage-free, and I’ve identified three phone numbers associated with the son, who I believe is the heir.I’d like to reach out to the son to express my interest in purchasing the property, but I want to ensure I do so respectfully while also gathering the right information.Here are my questions:What’s the best way to approach the heir while showing my condolences for their loss?

Feel free to DM me. 

Feel free to reach out.

I currently work with investors to build their portfolios with Turn-key long-term rentals, making it hands-free for the investors. 

@Shiloh Lundahl you should rename your post, "educate me for free on how to start a turnkey business".

As an aside, my laundry pods for the guests and liquid for the turnovers are "free and clear" and have never gotten a complaint.I have had guests break into my owner closets, but oddly never steal (they were kids probably looking for liquor). 

Feel free to reach out if you have any specific questions about the area.

If you own (2) properties free and clear you could simply do a cash out refinance. 

Feel free to message me if you want to dive deeper—I’d be happy to share what’s worked for me!

Feel free to reach out if you have any specific questions, as an investor or a lender happy to share any advice I can!
