Also check death records, probate.

I love talking about this stuff and talk to my family about it to DEATH, and would love to network and meet new people that also love talking real estate!

I'm scared to death to acquire a second property before I even have a tenant in my first property and with no cash reserves.

. :)Yes, always have contracts with you.Reasons people sell a house:New job, watch the paper for promotions in the business section.New baby announcements, white picket fence buyers.Getting married, they gota go some place, they may be leaving a place too.Estates have been beat to death, what about the heirs, did they get a fist full of $$$$$$?

She just had a death in the family, has multiple medical issues, has 3 daughters, is on fixed income, is looking for a SFH to move into where 5k will be enough to cover the down payment.I asked her about payment options and she said after talking with attorneys and bankers they said that she should ask for 12% interest.

It may not need them now but 9 college students will take their toll at every turn over.Edit: maybe you did on the spreadsheet but it is too small for me too.

However, with "And/or assigned" that is the kiss of death.

It is unfortunate but often people die and the heirs never hear about it or fail to do anything about the persons death.

Death, divorce, fire, home sale, floods,layoffs, etc.

Of course, no one expects to need to sell, but the divorce, death, job loss issues of life can all pop unfortunately.
