Death records are public I believe. 

So, in essence, that amount stays around $18,000 and has done so for the last 19 years.In addition, the court order reads that in the event of (the ex-husband's) death, his estate would be responsible for the payments.

The money you spend and the time you waste getting a degree that won't take you anywhere and saddles you with debt is the death knell of personal prosperity.

There needs to more said more about this, for example there should also be a long term strategy in place to do things like: pay the taxes in case of death etc. 

Thus the death of the Golden Goose,  ;-)

Hey @Sal Grimaldi - Have you considered building a list of people who might be interested in selling (long ownership, death, violations, etc.) and either mailing or cold calling them? 

From all these people that ACTUALLY want to sell, I got 1 forclosure, 2 absentee owners and 1 death in the family  ... and that is IT..If the foreclosures, and absentee owners and tax lien people truly were motivated...

divorce, economy, uncertainty, lay offs, job loses, death...motivation doesnt change. 

Ugly things eventually happen to LLs who fail to understand this fundamental truth of renting to poor people.Never outdress, never outdrive, never outcrib your tenants.

Sorry I don't have the direct toll free number but check www.irs.gov and type in the keyword 'innocent spouse' and some info should pop up.
