you end up taking your kids on appointments oldest daughter is an agent now.I grew up in the business my dad took me to meetings from when I was old enough to remember.. and yes I got very board sitting in the car for 2 hours  LOL.. but there are sacrafice's in everything.

He knew about business, legal issues, tax issues, marketing, sales, promotion, networking, and most importantly he knew about people (psychology).The first thing he did was tell me that I have two ears and one mouth, and I should listen more than I talk.Second thing he did was have me read "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie.Then he taught me how to set appointments with home sellers, go out to their home, and write up a "letter of intent to purchase or lease".He said to me, "your job is to bring me potential home sellers who will consider a creative offer."

I ignored it the first 10 times until I saw the number of expired and FSBOs appointments I was getting was barely anything no matter what I tried.They both had (at one time) bought a zip close to my home that Zillow only charges a couple hundred a month for.

Until the situation gets to a point where there is a conservator appointed, that's awfully slippery territory. 

Sponsored by Ann Bellamy.Leo's Ristorante off of Shrewsbury St.Wish I could make this one, but I have a conflicting appointment.  

Introduce ourselves as the new owners by letter, let them know we will not be raising rents at this time (this is what tenants fear and we want to start off by putting them at ease), and request an appointment to meet with them and inspect the unit for maintenance purposes.2.

I am about to go to my first appointment for an off market purchase on a flip.  

You will mail them directly or call them and you will have more appointments that you can shake a stick at.

If not, if they died intestate,  there is an administrator appointed to handle assets.Don't waste any money on skip tracers.

At that point you'll also need to pay someone to meet with court appointed movers (who you'll also be paying) to go to the home make entry, change locks & remove all the belongings to be placed on the curb.
