So instead of looking for leads via the probate office, I instead researched homeowners who have passed away and verified their address with the county tax assessors website.Essentially my question is which method is going to be more effective: mailing marketing letters to the deceased's property and hope this gets forwarded to the heirs or decision makers in the process, or figuring out if the deceased has any children and mail marketing letters to these people (assuming I can find their address and that they are in fact the heirs).

Ask about their job, any rental assistance, how many people will be living there, how many adults/children, if they have pets, etc.

How many grown children, kids, cats/pets, boyfriends, etc come along with the three women in option #2... that would be my question.

Keep in mind that you cannot make a decision to rent to them based upon the number or age of the children, so I would avoid any posts/comments that indicate you are looking at it.

The two children's bedrooms are quite small.

I’m a finance professional, husband, and proud father of 2 amazing children.

So I ended up with a upper-end rental property without having to make a large down payment.Biggest drawback was I am married and have two small children so it took a lot longer than we wanted it to.

She pays no tax on income to her IRA.What everyone should remember is the "no self dealing clause" - you can't participate with your own IRA, nor can your spouse, nor can your parents or children (direct blood relitives + marriage) Therefore, you personally can't "own" a portion of the real estate along with your own IRA (or your parents ect) If you were to do that, perhaps that is where the UBIT comes into playAs far as Roth Vs.

Their contract would have ended the end of June, but the husband moved out the second week of February and the wife the following week.It looks like the husband just disappeared and we have only been able to contact the wife, who claims to have no knowledge of his whereabouts even though they have two children together.The wife also seemed to be under the impression that we should be so kind and no longer charge them rent since they moved out and she no longer has the funds to pay the rent.We put the house back on the market as soon as she left to keep the damage for to a minimum, but we haven’t had any luck finding new renters yet since the market is kind of slow until May or June.Since March rent was due, we sent her and her husband a reminder to pay the rent.Well, of course that did not go over well.
