So now I'm looking at 3 separate houses on the same street, different addresses, and 2/3 bordering each other. 

I used to run a turnkey, and a resell company in both NC and SC border towns, Basically a 60 mile radius around Charlotte NC. 

The owner is deceased, the home needs substantial work and the heirs have been given an amount owed to the reverse mortgage company or an option to turn the home over to the RM company in lieu of repaying the "mortgage". 

I can use guidance in choosing a target city in Northwest Indiana, referrals to assemble my team (especially a very well qualified real estate CPA), and to let me know of local meet-ups near the southwest suburbs of Chicago where there are robust discussions regarding investing over the border in Indiana.

The reason I said what I said is because I bought a tax lien on a property a few months ago where the owners were deceased and the property had not yet been probated.

I then changed my strategy to make sure I was taken into account properties in arrears that were the border of "war zone"

So IMHO, the following asset classes should be considered but with the assumption that a deal sponsor has 1) taken such asset class through a recession or two and 2) on a market by market basis: MHP, MFH, storage, medical offices with concentration on infection deceases, and assisted living.
