There are still some plays involving heirs of deceased owners.  

The laws in each state about real estate vary from state to state, each state has the right to control how contract and land law works inside its borders.

The owner is deceased and the widower wants to sell.

There are some CA income tax liens for the deceased Daughter, so I really want to be the assignee and go Affidavit if I can....not have the estate take title and not have to notice creditors.The Mother has capacity and I believe would be willing to release her life estate tenancy.  

We have had some success when we can locate the owner but a lot of properties are listed in the name of a deceased person. 

The numbered streets run east/west and are numbered south to north (2nd St or Patterson Plank is the southernmost street/borders Jersey City, 49th is the northernmost border with West New York), John F Kennedy is the westernmost border with North Bergen, and Palisade or Park is the easternmost with Weehawken or Hoboken. 

Once time my Dad and hise wife were pulled out of the car at the border art gun point because they had cruised across for a few hours for luch and on the way back they both answered their professions were "Real Estate" and the border patrol didnt buy it. haha Thats the issue, how can you describe exactlly what you do in ONE word! 

Simply looking at the city's borders, sure.... but the Cincinnati MSA is larger than Columbus.... also something to note, most of Cincinnati's growing neighborhoods are to the north(mason/liberty areas), which is just south of Dayton....

Part of my construction crew lives near the border so getting up there isn't too challenging for us, but the traffic that @Mike Nuss called out is no joke for most Portlanders. 

I would like to point out that NC real estate is quite high right now, but just over the border in Southwest Virginia can be incredibly affordable by comparison.
