Is Anyone Having Any Luck Doing PROBATE? HOW?

[Larry Karp]

Is anyone actually doing any good going after probate properties?

I've been going to the courthouse and getting the probate files for the past few months. I'm sending letters to the executor or independent administrators and the heirs. I'm offering to discuss the sale of any property they may be dealing with in the estate. I'm sending to estates that list RE of any value.

Does this work for anyone? Is there a better stategy? I'm trying to find my first deal.

there is a Probate group here on BP. Its not very active as Probates isn't a sexy topic among many investors.

I never got into it more than marketing and selling leads to realtors. Now that I am licensed, I'll be doing some as an agent hopefully and as an investor. Now, I just gotta find someone to sell me fresh leads :)
