Thanks Kenneth. The information was very helpful.

Hi Howie,

Jackie is correct. In this business, we often need some PI skills. Neighbors are usually the best source of information. Even if they do not have the owners' forwarding address, they usually know someone who does or even where the person works, etc. It all comes down to how much time do you want to spend trying to locate the owners. If the deal is worth it, for for it.

Best,

Betty

Thanks guys for the information.

Ok, I am a newbie, but I am learning. I have chosen probate investing as one of the niches that I am pursuing. Currently, I am sending out 25 to 35 letters weekly for two counties. My letter states that I will purchase the property "as is". I am often asked, if I will dispose of the home's contents. Of course, I say yes. My question is, since I want to wholesale the property and flip it, who disposes of the contents?

Thanks. Actually, I have spoken with several of the neighbors (people are always curious when they see someone taking pictures). They all voiced concern about the condition of the property. In the example given, I received a host of information - owner's name, etc. I will attempt to contact the owner and follow your suggestions.
Thanks again.

I have found several homes in zones 3 and 4 neighborhoods that could possibly be candidates for rehabs. The problem is that there is so much overgrowth that it is impossible to get close enough to do an inspection. In one case, the house is brick, 3 bedrooms, 1 ½ baths, central air & heat with a 3 car detached garage (based on 2013 tax records). The shrubbery, etc. cover some of the windows, the grass is waist high; however, the roof looks good. Should I pass on these or do more research?

Thanks Ruby. I am really looking forward to this new experience. I am really excited

Hi everyone,
I am new to real estate, however, I have spent thousands of dollars on real estate courses and boot camps that have only left me confused and frustrated. I am interested in wholesaling single family homes. I retired from my JOB in March and have plenty of time to invest to a business. I only wish that I had found this site sooner. I am looking forward to networking with many of you.

Thanks,
Betty
