Oh, 

Sorry I guess the discussion was a bit too short and sweet. What I mean is do I sent a letter to the previous owner?or is there some legal way to find out why it was abandoned?

I came across a house that is abandoned, what is the best plan of action if I want to buy it.

Any information will help.

I would like to know if you can buy a property after it has been purchased by a trustee?

All very good information, Thanks. this is her primary residence but good stuff.

Ok, yeah, it has not closed yet, and that is what the title company said.

Thanks for your update.

Hello BP,

I have not done a 1031 Tax Exchange before though I have read about them and may have some info on them. But a client of mine sold his house and the buyer wants him to do a 1031 tax exchange amendment to the contract of late.  What will the client have to do in the future if he signs off to participate?

Any advise?

I't true three heads are better than one, I will follow upon all these ideas that I have not tried yet.

And Thank you!

I have been an agent for two states and managed property for a third. Each state's Real Estate Commission states when you buy and sell Real Property that it must comply with the states Code of ethics, yes you can draw up any document and buy them from the local office store. But if there is ever a question about legal ownership and contracts drawn up on Real Property dose not have an attorney envolved or a Title company which is governed by the State department of Insurance. 

The person drawing up the document has to answer to the judge if there is litigation. Would you really want that to be you?

Hello BP,

I found an abandoned house that the owner is in a nursing home and I have not been able to locate him.  I have hit a wall now and don't know what to do to buy this home what would you do?

Hello BP,

All is well and ready to get back to business, I have been really busy dong everything but Real Estate, I am working on some ways to locate and research owners of abandonded homes.  However, it seems that all the onld ways of finding phone numbers have been updated by companies that charge fees to get the phones numbers. I don't think I need criminal records or things like that just want to find a phone number to call them. 

Anyone out there find a service that just dose address and phone number listings anymore?

:Your help is much appreciated....
