hey bp, so i was curious if anyone has experience doing probate court sit ins? in other words just sitting in the court room and listening to a hearing regarding probate settlement? is this a good source of lead generation?

Hello BP! i am working in probate deals right now, currently building a list to mail out over 4000 probate leads a month. i work in collin, denton, tarrant, dallas, travis and many other counties in texas. with a large database of leads i need buyers to help close these deals in the future. i need cash buyers who are looking for dirt cheap deals in good areas. lets do business! send me a colleague request so i can add you to my buyers list. any buyers in any areas are welcome.

sorry I was referring to my assigning fee. Shouldn't have worded it that way haha

hey guys, so ive been working in probate leads for a bit now and i was wondering what the average deal can look like? more in depth, if i had a home for $200,000 ARV and i went with an offer of 30% off market so $140,000 minus any repairs, say theres about $20,000 in repairs, so now weve got $120,000, would 10% be abnormal to ask for? 5%? curious to know what a lot of yall run into. obviously not all homes are valued at this but just a ballpark number for the areas im working in (collin county and Tarrant).

@Luka Milicevic every month. I just started very recently.

Hey guys another thing I was curious about. Would it be a better idea to build my list from the most recent filed leads or could I perhaps start from the beginning of the year and just compile all of that for my list?

@Allen Bruns thanks a lot allen!

@Andrew Herrig what is your experience with these kind of deals? i see you are wholesaling and would like to know if you are marketing to a specific niche!

@Ryan Dossey hey mark not sure what a VA is ha! mind elaborating a bit?

@Mark Allen none taken friend! i am always aware of competition (especially in our market DFW) and look forward to it. 23 calls is a lot! i will push to get that many letters out, or perhaps more ;) also, have you had any luck getting probate information in dallas? it seems impossible to get the kind of lists like you can in collin, tarrant and denton county. they all allow you to search online or go to the courthouse for more in depth information (wills, testaments etc). i try calling the probate office and i never get an answer, let me know how your experience in dallas county has been!

@Cameron Tope all of the larger cities you just mentioned are definitely getting attention. what is it like in your area? ive never been around the katy area but its semi close to houston i believe?

@Rick H. thanks a lot for your input! i plan to stand out in a number of ways.

Another thing i was hoping yall might discuss, do you guys know any good property inspectors, escrow officers, as well as probate attorneys? i would like to know what to do when a property owner may be looking to sell but theyre stuck in the probate process. do you need to hire an attorney to get this information? would it be a good idea to hire attorney solely for your business? thanks for the information guys its incredibly helpful!

sounds good! im thinking about sticking to my numbers of 2000+. my deal is that i know new leads will be coming up every month at the courthouse so i wanna see if i can close atleast a deal a month to have money to cover overhead. what is the market like in your area? 

Hello friends, i am working right now in probate deals and I am trying to come up with a good strategy to ensure i get the most for my money. how many direct mail letters do yall think would be appropriate to get around 2 closes for wholesale deals a month? these are people who have inherited real estate so their motives are a bit different. however i am working in all counties surrounding dfw such as tarrant, denton and collin, as well as some other counties more south like harris, bexar and travis. with the database in each county being around over 300 new leads per month, would about 2000-2500 mail letters potentially be a good place to start? i have the money for it and would like to know what kind of results i may see. (using white letters only). obvioulsy would have to keep up with more new leads in the coming months and also keep mailing to my old ones, so i want to make sure i can get enough deals to fund this. let me know guys! 

hello again bp! I was curious if any probate investors out there have any experience with courthouses that only allow you to search by name? since i am trying to get a list, i do not have this information and would like to be able to search by date filed. in my county (collin county) this isnt a problem. i can go up to the court house and simply pull the files because they allow me to search by date filed. however many other surrounding counties such as tarrant denton and rockwall counties have all mentioned that they do not allow or have to ability to search by simply the date filed. anyone have experience with this? these are great areas i want to put some money into for marketing however i am not sure what to do when i cant pull the leads. would love some insight!
