My husband and I are happily liquidating our furniture stores of twenty five years, selling off the prime comercial real estate and putting it all into residential rehab investments.

A little about me:Ever since immigrating to this wonderful county 25 years ago, I remember dad wishing all of his children to own a piece of real estate.

Their teenage and adult children entertained guests on my property's front porch. 

I am seeing more and more probate deals as Baby Boomers, like my parents, pass away and leave property to their adult children.

Who pays for damage to the furniture, missing dishes/utensils, etc.?

Would the condo or the owner be responsible for removing damaged furniture, wet carpet, etc... 

I can discuss and negotiate more in 15 minutes with the decision maker/owner than two agents trading stories about each others children and then trying to figure out how to meet in the middle without pissing each other off or their clients.

My interest in REI developed when I was in my early 20's and wanting to secure something that I could pass down to my child/ren.

My wife and I have been listening to the podcast for a while and are interested in learning how we can use real estate investing to help us along the path to financial freedom, so we can spend more time with our child (and future children!)

If the seller has children or a spouse that will inherit the property when they die, the tax basis in the property will step up to the current value for the heirs.
