I'm not asking for free help, I'm willing to add value by means of doing leg work, office work, phone calls, what have ya, but I have a little $$ squirrelled away, about enough for a downpayment or small reno budget, and am looking to partner with an experienced investor to show me the ropes while we pursure and complete a deal together in 2018.

I've written to her and tried to request *address service* on that letter since that same lien hasn't been paid in the last couple of years.I'm guessing my best course is to consult a legal professional but I'm trying to get as much leg work done ahead of time.MY QUESTION: If I'm able to make contact with any of the 'next of kin' for either party, is it possible that one of the parties can claim 'adverse possesion' and claim rights if I cannot get both entities together on the deal?

In this competitive market, it's a real "leg up" to have an active agent that can source deals before they hit the MLS, as well as pocket listings, and other non-MLS properties. 

This took YEARS and I’m sure cost lots of attorney fees (which were likely reimbursed in the settlement) but just a interesting story. https://www.google.com/amp/www.orlandosentinel.com/news/orange/os-westgates-pays-widow-15-million-20171218-story,amp.html

The property was pretty much turn key ready, discounted, and my agent did much of the leg work. 

You could use her money as a down payment, granted you do all the leg work, and split the cash flow ( or future expenses) from day one.

I'm in orange county, NY area.

What complex in Orange Park ?

I'm not sure if you're still wanting responses on this post but I'm working with a lending broker based out of Orange County and have some insight from my experiences right now.
