Developing that trust with someone you don't know may seem like a challenge, but if you approach it correctly, you should be able to achieve a pretty solid foundation before you engage.One way to approach this is to look for investments with professional administration.

Hello @Syed Zafar, my wife Tameka and I are new to real estate, we live in northern NH and are constantly adding people to our network and info to our databases.

Then connect with owners and start building your database for apartment owners.

This is not a deal killer, but certainly something you want to be aware of from an administrative perspective.If you are working with an existing self directed IRA, I would need to refer you to your provider or your tax advisor for additional details.If you are interested in establishing a new self directed IRA, feel free to contact me and I'll be happy to provide more detailed guidance offline.

Using their database and filtering options, you can search your any area and get a list of prospective properties for a relatively small fee. 

I would speak to your plan administrator for more details. 

Some will charge a percentage each month but also a start-up fee, a leasing fee or lease renewal fee each year, administrative fees, maintenance fees, etc.

Would the appraisal not take this into account as it is not in the City's property database or would they?

Also, companies like propstream have a database where they can bring you leads AND find phone numbers for you.

The courthouse database is much more robust.Chances are no probate, or this land was not included in the probate if they didn't transfer the deed.....but that is certainty to any of that.Not sure where you are, but I would think in most cases the AAL has a responsibility to try to hunt down heirs.
