How cool is it that we have the freedom to have our own opinions -- each based on our own experiences and/or education -- and that we can express those opinions in a public forum!  

Does anyone know how I would be able to find an address of someone who recently passed away other than driving to city hall and going to public records?

This step must be done carefully to avoid further damage.Structural Repairs: Address any structural damage first, including the roof, walls, and foundation.Systems Repair: Repair or replace electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems as needed.Interior Restoration: Once the structural and system repairs are complete, focus on restoring the interior, including insulation, drywall, flooring, and fixtures.Safety and Health Concerns:Air Quality: Ensure proper ventilation and air quality during and after the restoration process to remove smoke odors and contaminants.Mold Remediation: Check for and address any mold growth, which can be a common issue in fire-damaged properties due to water used in firefighting.Final Inspections:City Inspections: Coordinate with the city for final inspections to ensure that the property is safe and habitable.Fire Department Clearance: Obtain clearance from the Fire Department confirming that the property is safe to occupy.I hope this helps, best of luck!

Also, note that if the liens have been released, usually that's a matter of public record, if someone chooses to go searching for that information. 

One example in Oregon for instance if your going to buy 1 home and fix it up to sell to the public you MUST have a developers license or a GC license.

You're a "public figure" your name can be used legally, you using my name is protected information.

I'm quite public about performance numbers with my properties there.

The Land Trust would be very useful for both transferring properties into the Series LLC because it is excluded from the Due on Sale Clause AND it can also be used to remove the investors name from public record and provide anonymity for your ownership of the property.

The issue is that creating an LLC in NY is ridiculous - 6 weeks of newspaper publication, etc.
