... list of absentee owner, records of properties on probate or notice of petition to administer of estate ?

@Ori SklootIn order for the second wife to legally sell she's going to have to file for "Notice of Petition to Administer Estate".After notice is publicized administration will have started. 

For rental property, this is a much more efficient and effective business model.You are allowed to administer the investment transactions and do things such as sign contracts, pay for expenses out of the plan and receive income into the plan.  

By the way, after much research, I found that Next Phase Real Estate with the Cousins is the same product as SuccessPath, administered by the company Zurixx.

I mostly want to do personal transactions and make the process easier for myself rather than do a typical agent's workload.I am looking online and have found sites that offer online courses and administer exams (via online proctoring) and would like to know if this is a good route to go.

And a 20% margin for administering larger repairs or unit turnovers.   

@Matt D.You may want to ask the clerk for Notice of Hearing on Petition for Formal Probate and Appointment of Personal Representative.In CA probate headings are filed as Notice of Petition to Administer Estate.As long as you have the decedents name and case number I don't know why the clerk couldn't assist you with a file..

{I now need to go look this up anew}.The Landlord Tenancy Act in New Brunswick is administered quite even handedly.  

Are there any significant differences between how the program is administered between Baltimore City and Baltimore County that favor one over the other?

I would call the housing authority that administers S8 for your area and let them know you changed your mind and decided not to participate in the program at this time.
