Probate Investing Part 4: Overview of Marketing to Probates Podcast + Video

Overview of Marketing to Probates

Overview of Marketing to Probates

Today's show is last part in my 4 part series on probate investing, and the topic is a quick overview of marketing to probates.  This is an important part of the process when it comes to making money in this very lucrative real estate investing niche.  Marketing is an integral part of any investing strategy, but it's especially important with probates. People have to know about you (marketing) before than can choose YOU to work with (branding).

Since probates are off market deals that means you have a huge opportunity to help this particular group of motivated sellers.  They have a problem. They have inherited a property (sometimes multiple properties), and in most cases, they don't want the property. Read the rest of this entry →

Getting Started in Probate Investing

 

Getting Started in Probate Investing

There is one of the things that holds real estate investors back especially when they are just getting started. They just have trouble getting started. They don't know where to begin so they never take those first steps. I have some tips for you today for taking those “first steps”.

So, what is the process for getting started in probate investing?  Just where do you start?  There are basically 4 steps in the probate process and here is where you start.

  • Getting the leads
  • Determining if there is property in the estate
  • Marketing to the leads
  • Driving traffic back to your website

There are over 3300 counties in the US and there is no “one place” to get them. You're going to have to do some detective work to get them, but I have some ideas for you in this show. Read the rest of this entry →

Probate Investing Part 2: The Duties of the Executor – Video – Podcast #126

May 13, 2018 in Podcasts, Probates/ Probate Investing, Videos

In this part 2 of this 4 part series, I am going to talk about the duties of the executor or the administrator who are collectively referred to as the personal representative.  As you remember, the executor is the person named in the will; the person chosen by the deceased to carry out his or her last wishes.

 

What happens if there is No Will?

In the absence of a will, the court appoints an administrator.  The executor and the administrator are often referred to as the “personal representative”.  Find out more about how this works. Read the rest of this entry →

Probate Investing Part 1: The 8 Steps in the Probate Process

May 10, 2018 in Podcasts, Probates/ Probate Investing, Videos

 

Probate Investing Course

 

Today's episode is all about understanding the probate process. Specifically, I'm going to talk about the 8 steps in the probate process.

One of the biggest misconceptions for investors that are first getting started with probate investing is that you must wait until the estate is closed to buy the house. In reality, it's just the opposite. If the house has not been directly inherited, then it's part of the estate.

What that means is that the assets in the estate including any property must be sold before the estate can be closed. It's critical if you're going to work in this niche that you have a clear understanding of the probate process. You're also going to learn about my brand new course Probate Investing Simplified.
