I ask them if they would like to shave off X dollars and refinance on better terms, the answer is mostly, like always, yes.I pre qualify on the phone, I explain they will need to make application, ask about any credit issues and make an appointment to see the property or send someone to look.

If there was no recorded will specifying one, then the probate court would need to appoint one.  

Get a Specific Power of Attorney from your mother appointing you as her administrator of the property and file the POA in the land records. :)

Bylaws usually appoint the board to be the entity to decide to fire/hire a PM.

And it was usually because when properties were redone, they were done right, and were very appealing to not only my potential tenants in how my apartments and properties viewed well I rented but also in how I conducted business.There was no greater satisfaction than my existing tenants who would find their way around me whenever I had appointments with potential tenants to vouch for me while showing my units.

I just make sure that I clearly explain to them what information I want when scheduling an appointment, and they have great lawyers who are experienced in those fields.

So yesterday, for the first time i had an appointment with the owner of the property, i went in and he showed me all of the rooms.

Mr attorney started drooling over this, and starts making a long a blatant pitch for these properties, and even tries to set an appointment before realizing that I've probably spoke with Mr.

For me it helps to start with your own little network.At various stages of the course a few representatives from local RE companies came in an introduced themselves and a little pitch to have the students consider working for that particular company.I passed the test on my first attempt , I then set up appointments to speak with whom I was interested in working for to get an idea of the cost ( desk fees, admin fees, E&O insurance, commission splits, ) and any other fee that may be associated with being a Realtor.

Then if it warrants I book an appointment to come out and see the house and will usually make a verbal offer based on my diligence to that point.I already have performed my comps, I already have a price range that the seller was willing to accept or even the least amount of cash they want, and now at my visit I have a good idea of my rehab costs.
