The only thing I can think of is to simply watch for obituaries in the paper, and first look up whether or not the deceased owned property, and then go to the courthouse and to search their system. 

For 2016, these were the top 10 real estate markets to watch.https://www.trulia.com/blog/10-hot-real-estate-markets-to-watch-in-2016/They looked at five metrics: strong job growth over the past year, low vacancy rates, high affordability, more inbound home searches than outbound, and a large share of millennials.

I want to be able to travel and give them experiences outside of what is familiar, as well as spending the time to watch them grow up.

Thanks Kurt, I did get a referral from @Dave Foster  @Dave Foster who setup a watch for me.  

Perhaps you could offer some labor in return for the privilege of watching the process (demo, painting, landscaping, etc.).

We applied the same methods in Texas and a group of qualified, professional ladies moved in the home on a 12 month lease March 1.

So many watch these flipper shows on TV and get crazy ideas from them.

So im currently learning about becoming a real estate investor and I was watching this show called "The deed", where this women bought a land and started building her development of houses.

Watch fees too; with RS and RM you are investing through an LLC entity tthey create to manage the investment and they get compensated for that of course let alone the sponsor (on equity deals) has to make $ in various ways too.
