Hi all,

I'm working on a wholesale deal in Cook County, and I'd certainly love any input from anyone that has experience with similar deals. Details below. Thanks!

- Lead came in through a postcard mailing. The person that called is the brother of the homeowner listed on the tax records. In speaking with the brother he informed me that the owner passed away last year, and that he has been his brothers care taker. He also informed me that:

- His brother did not have a will in place, and there are 4 or 5 siblings including him.

- They have not spoken with a probate attorney, however, the siblings are currently writing up an affidavit stating that they will all sign stating that the brother I spoke with was the care taker and is the decision maker for the property.

- There is a tenant living in the house, however, no lease agreement was ever signed.

My questions are:

- Is there a way to avoid probate if there is not a will in place?

- Will a signed affidavit from the siblings have any legal merit whatsoever, allowing them to sign off on the sale of the property?

- What rights does the tenant have after the sale of the property if no lease agreement is in place?

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for the message! I live in the West Loop (edge of Greektown and the Loop at Jackson / Desplaines). No deals yet as I just started my marketing this week. Thanks for the heads up regarding the Dino's Pizza meet up. Is there a facebook group, or anywhere else that the group posts info regarding meetings etc? 

What are your focus areas in / around Chicago? Are you buying or wholesaling?

Hi All, my name is Eric Liebich. I've been investing in real estate for the past 7yrs in Charlotte, NC, and I recently relocated to Chicago in January where I'm now wholesaling full time in Cook County and the greater Chicagoland area. 

Being new to the city, I'm looking forward to being a more active member here on BiggerPockets, and I hope to give back to the community that has done so much for me up to this point. If there is any way that I may be able to help you, please let me know. 

I welcome any opportunities to connect / network, and I would love to hear about any other Chicago specific networking opportunities that might be out there.

For any investors or wholesalers looking to connect, below are the areas I'm currently focused in. Thank you!  - Eric
