Wayne County has a search engine that you have to enter either a case number or a last name to search with.It seems like the only option to find leads on my own in Wayne County is to reference the newspaper each week and document the names of people that pass away, then search for them over a period of time on the county's computer system.This option isn't very appealing to me, and feels downright morbid.Is there any other way to find the names or case numbers of filings that I can use to search the system to obtain my own probate leads?

Not sure what the mathematical computation would be referred to, but I'd assume your basis would be the "adjusted" amount of the debts pay off.  

I'm currently a college student working on my computer science master's degree.

You will not find,all the opportunities via the computer.

No I don't plan on moving to Ohio anytime soon but I am pretty handy with a computer.

@Tony Gonzalez "smelt like urine and broken promises"...brings back memories of my college days, but I digress.  

I don't think it is my computer since I tried this with 2 different browsers.For example we will be needing to send the following letters soon:Letter announcing a change in management for the buildingLetter reminding residents that the rent is due on a certain day and that eviction proceedings will begin on the 5th day of the monthI would prefer to not make it up myself, would like to get good professional examples.  

Shouldn't take longer than a few minutes right on the computer.

It's so much better in person that on a computer screen. 

Thanks for the input guys.After posting last night, I realized that I had made a mistake in the "equity" that I was using to compute the return.
