Maybe a little more info is needed.

As well the final payment may only be a portion of the normal payment amount (since last payment on an amort schedule is always smaller/different).Any info/input on this?

Pm me for more info.

The name on the contract is the name of the person who owns the property. that again depends on where there is a trust or probate.5, Start with the title company and get the info about who is on title and then find out if it is trust or probate and if probate has the estate been settled and the name change just not recorded yet.

Thanks for the welcome and the info.

Any info about the nitty gritty stuff would be very much appreciated. 

I don’t think it will let me list contact info here but if you’d like to inbox me, I can give you all his information.

I've seen some info posted about companies like RealtyShares, which might be an option.

Look at the info that @jameswise has put out here on BP.5.
