I own a duplex in Norwood on the far east side bordering Oakley.

The Ohio Revised Code says that either spouse is entitled to an interest in real property upon the passing away of the deceased spouse.

Turned out both the husband and wife were deceased, but I still had to prove it in order to get to closing.

The CAD shows "deceased estate of John Doe", C/O Jane Smith, 123 BFE RD, BFE Georgia.

I live on the border and all.Our biggest fear is where the money comes from.

Let's look at finding deals . . . . . . . for single and  multifamily1)  Track listings on MLS (being your own agent is helpful so you can act fast, but not for everyone)2) For multi family, I would also watch LoopNet or Costar3) get on a lot of wholesalers list and sift through the junk to find the gem 4) Attend local REIA meetings and get to know the players and let them get to know you, they might have a pocket listing.5) Direct mail potential sellers in areas you want to buy -  - code violation lists (I send about 1000 pieces of mail a month)- probate (or even obit records for all deceased owners of property) - look for deceased owners of duplexes and send letters- direct mail probate attorneys who might have families dealing with rental properties- direct mail nursing homes - caseworkers who help families transition- farm specific areas where you want to buy and direct mail the absentee owners.- know of a group of properties you would really like, keep telling the owners of your desire to buy and when they sell, they will call you first (most good duplexes sell this way to friends or contacts that connected with the owner) they don't often get listed for sale, they sell to family or friends.
