I'm guessing the tenant is a bit sloppy, as the bugs are likely feasting on their food.

Background:140 acres of land, split into three legal parcels.

So let's just put a couple of them out there - I'm not suggesting you should or shouldn't do these things, just presenting food for thought on alternatives.How about extending the time period in which the tenant is given the opportunity to perform on the purchase?

This reminds me of a situation with Chuck who use get food from my Grandmother's restaurant when I was younger.

A 3/4 acre parcel that he paid 23k for in 1993.

The records for deeds and mortgages are usually searchable by any number of pieces of info - like person's name, address, or parcel number.

You should have no problem competing, they have to hit a yield with more expenses applied to each property than an individual, more flexible and local investor would ever have in the property.If they own 200 properties in some area, they will have a more efficient operation, but from the ground up, that local maintenance guy, there will be a sting of managers and staff up the food chain adding to the expenses.

To those who defend it even when illegal, you might as well justify going into the store and stealing because you don't feel like paying for food...But even when, I consider it a lowlife and disrespectable way to go about doing things.

What you seem to be saying is there are two separate parcels and both are in probate, but the heirs and their attorney want both sold together in one deal because the one parcel would be tough to sell and get their price on its own.

Sometimes you can go on there, find the parcel, and get the information.
