Hey @Josh H. it's higher risk and def also higher reward.

Be sure to check out the free tools BP provides to help analyze deals you may have and also market insights.

Are they free & clear or have loans on them?

Feel free to DM me. 

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?

Seller Finance - in it's pure form is for a property wholly owned "free & clear".

Caution:  Personal credit card financing is a huge risk and good luck finding 0 percent interest today.

Feel free to reach out.

As Sean above alluded to- never pay a seller for your future hard work, risk and stress. 

Even when I self manage I include pm because it is work and I do not work for free.
