I think this would be a better angle for me to pursue as opposed to dealing with heirs to properties during their grieving period.

A lot of investors like probate, but when you are dealing with grieving families and all the dynamics, I would expect that this is a list where you will have a much longer turn-around on decisions.Have you thought about other target audiences such as Low Financial Stability?

"(( SINGLE FAMILY DUPLEX )) set up as a 2 family in Mt Vernon, NY1st floor: 1 bedroom, kitchen, living room and full bath.2nd & 3rd Floor duplex: 2nd floor: livingroom, large kitchen/dining combo, office space 3rd floor: 3 bedroom with full bath.Taxes are $11,258 but could be grieved.

You don't want to seem like a vulture swooping in over a grieving family.

These folks are grieving.  

For some grieving takes a l-o-n-g time.

@Sean Grieve Yes, it would depend on the person and their situation.

Different people take differnt lengths of time to grieve and even start the process.

Be angry, grieve, whatever, but it's going to take years to go back to any kind of normal. 

Next if it is an intentional murder that the victim caused on himself, then I would have to agree and set up arraignments after a grieving time to have them move out.
