(back on topic)so im on google maps "driving around" and i can see the abandoned houses and ones that look vacant, i zoom in to get the address of these properties and again search the owners and boom, its usually someone in a different state or part of town, and boom.

You can even google them, but I recommend to get J Scotts book on flipping houses, which is sold here on this site, and he gives you the break down.

As far as phone service, I'd highly recommend Google Voice.

Just google your city and "CAFR".

(Not by using Google maps because they can easily be outdated pictures) There should be some.

I did get a call from a neighbor that they saw racoons going into the house, and in Google earth view, there was a tarp on part of the roof. 

Either of you could will your half to whoever you want, but if the deceased didn't have a will, state law dictates who inherits their half, either the remaining spouse or other heirs.Community property doesn't automatically become the remaining spouse's property when one passes away.Maybe Google Community Property in New Mexico for more info.Cheers!

Much of the Tenant-Buyer pre-screening can be farmed out to VAs who you pay to answer the phone (Google Voice, Vumber, etc.) that you set up to receive calls from your marketing. 

After a quick google search, it does appear many banks will not write mortgages smaller mortgages.
