Solutions for acquiring a home that has not been through probate.

[Casey York]

Hi, Bigger-pockets fam, my name is Casey, and I am a real estate agent in the Houston market. I am currently looking to start my investment portfolio and recently received a call about one of the post cards I sent to a potential lead.

The estate owner has passed away, and her mother does not want the property. The problem is it has not gone through probate, and the auction for that home is on October 22nd, 2022.

What, if any, are my options? This property would make for an excellent first investment for steady cash flow. I am looking for solutions.
