But I am going to work on that buyer list right away, I am nicely located in Southeast Missouri but Right by the Arkansas and Tennessee borders so I should be able to cover all three areas quite well.

There are also NJ transit and local private buses (the jitney, check out http://www.jerseyjitneys.info/, also runs throughout JC) that run down John F Kennedy (border of UC to the west), Bergenline (main commercial drag) and parts of Palisades Ave (UC border to the east with Weehawken).

The owner has deceased and his son (an attorney) owns it now.

At this point you might be thinking straight forward enough.But there is an opportunity in a coworker looking to unload a decease relative's 2 BR house for $10,000.

That will potentially and perhaps necessarily add cross border tax considerations into your search for competent and affordable services.

@John Byrne I spoke to Account Closed a week ago about coming to Pottstown which is on the tip of montgomery county at the berks and chester county border.  

I do know you could increase your chances of getting properties when you find out owner is deceased or in jail.

It seems easy to fall into the trap of looking at auctions from the North Shore of Boston all the way up route 93 North to the NH border.

During the time I lived here, I met my wife (now deceased).

A few years later, my only living uncle (divorced, no children, brother of my deceased father) developed an extremely rare terminal condition.
