Second question, I also intend to mail to a variety of high equity owners as well, and curious as to the best wording to use for these also.Thanks in advance for any help 

It' actually in his father's Trust that his mother is holding at the present time.

hello i am trying to buy a house from a owner but hes name is not on the deed as it was hes fathers and he past away long ago without leaving a will if the son the owner is on the property title and name on taxes can i do a affidavit heirship and put the property in my name to avoid probate court? 

As the father of two beautiful Millennial daughters, I can relate. 

Also, a second question:  I am primarily looking for buy-and-hold properties. 

Sebastian,On second thought can you tell me if what you quoted from the contract came from a contract addendum?

My father is looking to sell our family home in Baltimore, Maryland.

@Steve Vaughan very interesting point about the second child and the 3:1 ratio of SF renters to buyers.

Hi,My name is Dania, my husband and I are coming to check out Spokane on the second week of May.We have been living in Brooklyn NY for the past 16 years but are now actively exploring and planning our relocation, we are not settled yet on where that will be but Spokane is high on the list, we have spent a day in the city a few months ago and are now coming back for a few more days and hope to learn more about the city, the people and the RE market.

I personally don't second the Memphis or Cleveland suggestions...I've never liked either of those.
