Something you or her will like might not be cash flow smart.This is still in the very preliminary stages; I suggested home ownership to her a couple of weeks ago.

I do my own preliminary searches before I start negotiating with (and sometimes before I even try and contact) the owner as well.

I'd wager they take in a million or more a year.I just got a contract back at a roughly 25k purchase price.

Thank you, Bill.Good point, yes, we want to have inspection contingency even seller provides inspection report ad disclosure.To my understanding, they don't need to go through probate, since the deceased owner had living trust, will preliminary title report show if it has clear title?

Thanks for the advice...My repair #s were just preliminary so far...I'll schedule a walkthrough tomorrow to view the property...with preliminary #s coming in at 25% below asking I just didn't know if I would be wasting everyones time?..

My preliminary research shows I could get $100-$150 more than my estimates.

I have done some preliminary reading for the Milwaukeeans.

You can check public records to determine if there are any recorded liens, or you can have your closing attorney or title company do a preliminary title search for $50-100 to get a reasonable idea of whether there are any liens.

Preliminary meetings with potential development partners, architects, lenders, and the city would likely help sort out what’s feasible from a financing, zoning, physical, and market perspective.

But, you do need to know quickly as you may not have a deal.So, immediately after contracting order a title committment or a preliminary report from the title company.
