Am willing to share my info on rentals, tho I niche rent the bulk of my houses in the recovery/sober house community working with my son.  

i am in indiana if this makes any difference concerning answers to this question about how to buy land from son of deceased father whose father died 8 years ago and there is no will and there has been no probate by of the estate involving a property offered several times at tax sale without bids even for 10 cents on the dollar as this is a superfund site and back taxes are $222,000.00 for this property assessed at $200,000.00 that the son has no incentive or interest to probate or own title?

I googled both companies and was able to find the son of the owner of the company on Facebook. 

Do your research and make sure to tackle something you think you can handle.The father knows that neither of you have done this before and is willing to take a chance on you both, mostly I assume to help his son get a leg up in life.You can use this money and then eventually develop a track record and be able to bring in other investors whom you do not have such a personal relationship with.

Twenty later I put together another deal that fell into my lap when one of my sons had borrowed the car and returned it with an empty gas tank that I had filled it just the day before.

The second property was worth around $25-30K and I offered $5K.The first one was the son of the mother who recently took title when her husband died.

Just have the seller request that the fee be paid from their proceeds and list your name or business name in the 1300's on the HUD with the amount in the seller's column.

Although you will need to check into if you need to do anything special to do business in IL as an outside company.I talked with my boss's son, a recovering lawyer, who I was going to pay to help me set up an LLC and he talked me out of it.
