The problem Matt points out is real, but no worries ... it has an easy solution for a lazy millennial ... two words: sugar momma :) ... it is just as easy to fall in love with a rich girl than it is with a poor one...

Cold Calling WAS good before everybody and their momma started doing it.

Did you check the county surrogates office to see if owners estate was probated?

But, the baby momma has no legal interest, the out of wedlock child maybe, but not the mother.

Greetings:Well ... someone has the legal right to dispose of the property, and without heirs, there generally needs to be some sort of application to a Court of competent jurisdiction to have a person appointed in order to represent the assets of the decedent.NB: In NY, you would petition the Surrogate's Court to be appointed an Administrator, based upon your degree of kinship to the decent. 

The folks bidding on properties, more often than not are cash buyers or their surrogates.

House hacking is not an option in this scenario ("if momma ain't happy...). 

If your momma's best friend is a Real Estate Agent which is also a school teacher 9 months out of the year...

It's one thing to hid from your baby momma and the child support agency.

This Momma is behind you 100%!!
