I also assume the property needs good portion of updates since it was owned by the deceased for very long (from my experience, estate sales needs a lot of update).The borrower is a unionized carpenter BTW.

The rest of us live a few miles across the border in the suburbs.

The Wild Card is there is a city just across the border(Reynosa) of an additional million people.

I am interested in purchasing the unit from the estate, including any rights under the title insurance policy (the property was supposedly sold free and clear to purchaser, but the outstanding lien will implicate the title insurance policy).Is it possible for me to purchase the property and also become the beneficiary under the deceased's title insurance policy?

Yes that can be border line micro managing just don't cross the line,once you do a couple it is much easier .

I actually ended up buying the lot next door to this house (1 acre) at an undersized property auction for $500 because it was only good to a bordering property.

Hey BP, I've done many sub to's but this time one of my owner's is deceased, and the 2nd living owner is incapacitated.

Clark are deceased.

Now i have done the due diligence of trying to track down the homeowner which in the title search seem as if they mite be deceased.

Bryan,I agree 100% the value of a neighborhood spills outside its physical borders.
