PROBATE PROFITS ARE ALIVE AND WELL !

*

I've been reading different forums here for about a month now soaking up & relating to various topics, I love the positive environment & wealth of information!! Other than once owning a rental property for a few yrs I'm fairly new to "todays" REI, however I'm excited & look forward to sharing my success stories in exchange for yours..

All the post about probates are great!!

Talk to ya soon, Lynette

...where you'll find properties like this.

I was in another town today - 'bout 35 miles from home - and say a house with a FSBO sign in front. It was obvious no one was in it (good sign) so I called one of 3 numbers listed.
Here's the deal - I talked to a family member who said the house had belonged to his mother and she had passed away and the house was to be sold and the $$ divided among the 4 kids - he was 1 of the 4.
The price was a bit high for now -- but he did say they might come down some.

No, I didn't make an offer on the spot, but I did find out who the "main" one was that I needed to talk to to get more info. on the house itself (the brother really didn't know much about it).

So...just from a FSBO house I found a house that needs to be sold due to a death of the owner.

Cool!

And, G2G....see? I joined the "chat"!

My Mercedes will be jet black. Just so you know.

Hello Grazi2Graziosi,

Are you located in the DC metro area? I couldn't help but notice that you mentioned DC in one of your posts and must ask. I reside in the area and I am looking to do probates too. I'm only at the first step of researching the ads before heading to the courthouses. I am trying to make sense of what I am reading.

How exciting to watch your progress,Sherri. It seems as tho you're going at lightning speed while at the same time, being thorough and deliberate in acquiring the information and quality team members you need to be successful. We've all appreciated your sharing and I know your future clients will benefit greatly from your compassion. Please accept my condolences for your loss. I am proud to count you as a new friend and role model! I think this has been one of the most exciting sites I've had the priviledge of reading. Thanks to all of you who added your expertise and knowledge..and to those of you who asked the questions all of us newbies had in mind. Semper Fi D-LO

This is an area I am very seriously considering. I am going to have to read this all again. Maybe a couple of times. Thanks everyone for contributing.

We thought we had a good one last month, but after the research found lis pend. was filed. I called the heirs & they were anxious to sell, but the debts were far more than then what we would pay for the house, so we just walked.

G2G,

I so love the information you bring to the table, it brings a smirk to my face and I begin to laugh when no one around me has a clue why I am laughing.

D-Lo,

What an inspiration! I read your introduction and was completely amazed. I believe that you will be a joy to corespond with as your journey unfolds.

All,

Is their anyone in the Dayton area that is trying to do this that might want to team up with and exchange information. Really just looking for a network of others in the area that might be able to offer some insight. I have found our local probate site but I need to get some numbers to plug into the system to find what I am looking for. Their is no date range search so by clicking on just random numbers I ran across someone that had passed in 1987. I was like OMG, how old are some of these records, lol.

Thanks for all of the information and I look forward to reading more.

PSS. IS their away to subscribe to this thread?

G2G,

I am a little lost here. Can you explain.

Ohh. I must have been some of those that did not get that particular email. Thanks for the clarification there.

OK, I am confused once again. I think it is more of a information overload then anything , But I am going to paste this information below and I was hoping someone with experience can look through it and tell me what the important information is, what they would do, and how to proceed. Paint by Numbers so to speak. I am not saying that this is anything important (which is why I picked this one) but it might help me and others to know what we are looking for.

http://www.butlercountyprobatecourt.org/index.cfm?page=courtRecords <- I went here to do a look up of the case number I found in the article above and this is one of those that you have to physically go to the court house to do any research. Having said that I have not went yet as I am at work and was trying to be proactive to have a better idea of what to look for.

I have so many questions... any idea on how to head some of this off so that I am not asking a million of questions that could have answers elsewhere?

Looking forward to a response.

Once again a smile and a giggle. Its funny how when you try something new you get excited about something. I found it funny how you honed in on how I did my search.

OK, so Dayton Daily News is a very large paper, so I just assumed that they would need to file those NOTICE TO CREDITORS in the big papers for more exposure. I will look in some of the smaller papers and see what I find and then refer back to here for help.

Thank you so much for all of your help and wisdom.

God Bless.

I bow to you and the infinite wisdom you have shared..

I did a search and I am coming up empty handed online for a local little newspaper. I am certain they are out there I just have to go looking. This will be one of the things I will do this weekend, as well as scout my local neighborhood for deals.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and finds hapiness and joy to enrich their weekend/lives.

Kevin
