Generally speaking when you find more owner occupied properties and less rentals you're in C+/B class.

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?

I currently manage a portfolio of 17 STRs, some are mine, but a majority for other owners.

Eventually people die off and the homes go up for sale cheap, get abandoned and the park owner picks em up cheap and takes in the extra little bit of cash for the POH rental. 

My strategy would be to target properties which are most likely of the owner NOT redeeming.

The owner, a family member of one of our buyers, inherited the property through probate, but they weren’t equipped to handle the renovation.The house had been left in disrepair for quite some time, with the previous owner struggling with mental health issues.

No syndication experience but there are about a dozen quality RV/Mobile home parks on market in Oregon, several with owner carry options that can be passiv-ish with management in place.

Sounds like with are under charging our owners by thousands of dollars or they are trying to rip you off.

This is how banks verify property owners maintain insurance.

It looks like according to the county site (sbcounty.gov) they require all renter payment go to the active owner.
