You can also grab probate info yourself from the county, but you'll have to physically go to the courthouse and go through each file to pull address & executor/admin info.There are a lot of new data feed sources popping up lately, but I don't have any experience with them. 

having them handy and being able to have them pop in to solve a problem is amazing.

Of course, you'd have the 4-5 things you'd desperately like to know about REO pre-written...and just go down the list.Make a point to drop a handwritten thank-you card in the mail that day...with your name...and a mention of the conversation....NO Business Card.Then stop by in the next 48 hours and meet him...shake hands...don't stay...just wanted to pop in and say "Hi"...but I do have a couple more question for my project, "could I call you later?"...
