I can always tell when the mail is delivered. 11am... calls start rolling in the day after drop day. "I'll never sell my house...." Yeah, but what about your kids?

The one's that call at odd hours get more attention.

I have margins built into my offer so when I show them their costs. It's tied in. I make NET offers not Sale price offers.

Yes.

Find equity. Market to those people only. When the letter comes back. ( not able to deliver )That's your lead. Now you've eliminated 99% of your comp. Most people won't want to deal with dead/orphaned etc.

Stay away from them. Unless you're a contractor.

It's been a challenge trying to do anything regarding his affairs, because of course no one will talk to me without the admin designation

For someone WITH equity (or interest) that would be cool.

This guys just trying to figure out if he has anything. This is the mindset of a seller I want to talk with.

some guy paid $118,000 for this at the last tax sale. Only real value is that I'll reach out to him when I have slim deals. Worth about $200k.
