Obviously, you will be lost without a working knowledge your probate laws concerning sale of real estate.Alternatively, once you know what info you want from each file, you can either train someone to pull the info (custom, to your specs) or perhaps find a local researcher who already pulls much of the same data for other clients (which may include credit companies, heir finders, etc.).More and more jurisdictions are providing online access to cases, however I'm not aware of any (yet) that make data concerning PR's and heirs' addresses available (for privacy reasons, no doubt).I used commercial, professional probate researches on and off for about twenty years and have come to this conclusion: it's never as good as data that you've pulled yourself but it's certainly a better use of my time.Irrespective of the methods or strategies that you employ to pull data, you will also need a way to store and retrieve the info on your end as well know what to say when talking to a personal rep.I called on a yellow letter that I received as a PR (admin) once and the sender was totally unprepared for my call.

I am in my early twenties and work at a structural engineering firm. 

Not irresponsibly so,  though,  was just never taught. .and she's almost twenty years older than me!!)

For example, if inflation is 6% and rent growth is 1%, the rate of buying power loss is 5 %/year.Assuming a 4% difference between the rate of rent growth and inflation, $100 will only purchase 66% of today's groceries in ten years and 44% in twenty years.

That was twenty years ago. 

I have had my metal roof on mine for twenty plus years and have paid for my roof already this way.

I envy you living in an area where you can purchase a house, CASH, for what is barely a twenty percent down payment here.  

I jumped into sales and have been on that track ever since.Eventually, I met and married my now husband, @Nich J. who spent much of his early twenties in the Marine Corps.

When in reality it will probably come roaring back next fall 10x worse.

What I was saying was that if and when you learn real estate you won't need to  wholesale, you'll have an understanding of the business and know how to take title which leads to greater profits, It's what you don't know that's holding you back and putting you in a position of questionable dealing.Just an observation on BP, it appears that our newbies and wholesalers are twenty somethings.
