I had a friend once who used to read the judicial section of the classifieds to get addresses of deceased estates from the probate notices. They’d often have an indication of whether there was a surviving spouse, and if not there was probably a good chance the property would be sold at some stage. He’d then put a flyer in the letterbox saying he was looking to buy in the area, please contact him directly blah blah. This way he’d cut out the agents and deal directly with the beneficiaries.
It sounds very ghoulish but apparently it worked in the large regional town he came from. Don’t know how it would translate to a major city. Don't think it's something I could ever do either but you did ask!
