You’ll find a multitude of gurus teaching how to make cash in foreclosure deals than you will with probate right now because foreclosure properties are one of the red hot opportunities to be investing in. However, in spite of the current economic situation, there are SEVEN TIMES more probate leads than there are in short sales and there are even fewer competitors. There’s a load of capital waiting to be realized in probate investing, but there are also additional measures that must to be taken when breaking down deals. Here are a few ways the real estate heavyweight can realize a potentially knockout probate opportunity.

The Heirs And/Or Personal Representative Lives Out of State
When the representative lives an extended distance away from the property in question, it instantly turns into a much bigger adversity for them to handle everything. After all, they have a life too, and having houses to handle out of state puts a huge stress on them. If you step in and supply a resolution, they will be very happy to work with you to solve the problem.

The family being out of state creates a like state of affairs. They usually don’t know how hard it is for the probate representative. They are normally very motivated sellers: they just want their money now.

There Are Multi Unit or Rental Properties in The Estate
Family may choose to keep the personal residence, but if the decedent had any investment properties, the family will, nine times out of ten, want to liquidate them. Why? Well, while the heirs may very well realize the prospective source for cash flow that leases and the like offer, they usually just don’t want to bother with them. Remember, you CHOSE to get into real estate investing; they are having it dropped in their lap. Almost always they will simply wish to dispose of the extended real estate portfolio and get what immediate payment they can.

Private Notes in The Estate
There’s more than just real estate that is available in probate. Paper financing is BIG business and private notes that are held by the estate can be had at bold price reductions, for reasons similar to those for rental and multi unit properties mentioned above. Discounts from 30% to 50% are NOT unheard of!
