My current focus - what is the process once a family member/individual has passed and lets just say in a perfect world probate has been filed and the respective family is now thinking about selling the property.

There is no perfect software out there.

Hi - you sound like a perfect candidate for the "DSCR Loan" option - its the loan type thats popular wwith investors and one of the big reasons why is the exact situation you are describing - running into DTI troubles. 

Are you looking for near perfect credit, or are you open to some dings? 

The solution is to location the meters as close to the billed unit as possible (or even inside) but sometimes that's not convenient because the return and supply lines are on opposite sides of the building whereas you could easily put the meter right next to your boiler / zone valves where all of the pipes are easily accessible.As for cost per BTU, with oil, you keep a rolling average of the price per gallon in your tanks and divide the BTU's used by 138,500 (BTUs contained in a gallon of heating fuel).

This is the perfect situation for this.A third question would be, "is this his only property, and if not, are the other properties also paid off?". 

Inherited tenants are usually a negative, however in that area leaving the duplex totally vacant makes it a target for thieves to come in and steal your pipes, furnace, and hot water tanks.

Even if the fund wasn't liable and only the company and the economy tanks, will it bankrupt PPR?
