I've been looking at pre-foreclosure properties and came across one where heirs of the deceased owner of a many-years-abandoned home with significant equity were persuaded a couple of years ago, for substantial $, to quitclaim the property to an investor (the heirs think he is an attorney, but he's not). 

I actually do have about a half-dozen searches set up by a few agents I've talked to over the past couple of months.
