Quote from @Yinka Taiwo:

My offer has been accepted for a potential house hack house in Stone Mountain, 30083, of Atlanta GA.

However, I just realized that the backyard leads to Indian Creek (a creek).

What are the pros and cons of purchasing property by water or a creek?

As a visual, the house has a circular driveway in front that's lower than street level and backyard descends from the house into a creek.

One con is that I'd likely need to carry a $2.5k+ annual flood insurance. Anything else to consider?

Quote from @Dominick Speranzo:

How do I find the probate list in my county?

Here in CA, none of the 58 counties sell probate lists. 
To find the estate's information I need the decedent's name and case number where I can retrieve from classified newspaper publications (free on-line) here in San Francisco Bay Area.
Using the MLS (Realists) I confirm that the decedent has real estate by cross referencing with county records before I contact the PR (Personal Representative)..

It is insanity out there. This article mentions one property that went up 96% in just 3 years!

Another property 130% rise in 4 years!
