Hi Paul,

I'm a beginner wholesaler too, and I'm just getting contracts cleared to use with my local title company.

Bringing the assignment contract is a must, mainly because you want the more niche aspect of wholesaling to be cleared up. If wholesaling is your only exit strategy right now, then the P&S and assignment contracts should be all you need cleared, in my opinion. Make sure to have the specific contract that you will use, not just examples of contracts.

Looking forward to seeing how this thread develops!

Hey Ani,

I just ran into an HML called First Equity. They're in the tri-state area, and they gave me a couple numbers and email addresses to contact.

If you're interested, send me a message and I'd be happy to share their info with you!

@Jerry Holt Thank you for the advice—do you know if there's any costs associated with finding a Petition/Application to Probate in your own county office? Just trying to avoid another unnecessary purchase, haha!

I'm interested in giving this another shot. I'll go down to my county's surrogate's office and ask to "look at filings for probate cases in the last month." Does that sound right?

@Daniel Whitmore I'm glad to see another newbie learning the ropes with me! Best of luck to you in your journey.

Hello everyone! I'm new to wholesaling in Central Jersey, and when I say "new," I mean new.

I'm 19 and made an arrangement with my parents--if they see me make $10k before the summer's over, they'll support me next summer. Otherwise it's back to the IT internship. *shudders*

So, here we go!

Today I went down to my county's courthouse and asked around for every list I could think of to start generating some seller leads. Special proceedings, pre-foreclosure, water outage...and the only one the county clerk responded to was "probate."

So, I spent $42 (didn't even know what the cost would be for a list, nobody ever mentioned that I even had to pay for it. Whoops!) and got 2 lists of hundreds of names. One is titled "Transmittal Sheet for Wills" and one is "Transmittal Sheet for Administrations."

Each entry looks like this:

• Last, First: Doe, John
• D.O.D: XX/XX/2019
• D.O.P: XX/XX/2019
• WILL_01 (or 02, 03, 04)

So, I'm assuming D.O.D. is the date of death for the person named, and the WILL # is for a type of will in NJ.

My questions are:

1. What does D.O.P. mean (and is it important)?
2. Am I supposed to SkipTrace the deceased person using just their name?
3. What list should I be using: Wills or Administrations? I'm assuming one is unnecessary in this case.

Any advice on this would help a ton--I hope that at the very least, I'm taking action towards something.

Thanks!
