I've found an abandon house and I know where the owner lives

[Ashley Robinson]

.....What is the best for me to ask this owner if he wants to sell.  He lives in another state.  The house is close to my mother in law's house.  My husband actually knew the family when he was a child.  The mother died a few years back and left the house to her youngest son.  He abandoned it and is now incarcerated.   Now the house is the uncle name.  I verified this info from the state tax website.  The uncle is Miami.  I recently acquire a few good investors. This could potentially be my first deal.   Please help BP on the best way for me to approach the uncle.

Don't mention to him that the property is "abandoned" unless you know for sure that they stopped paying on the taxes and upkeep of the property.  Some folks get offended at the term.
