Hi Rene, Glad to see some female blood in this world!

Each state can be a little different so the details matter. https://www.omglawfirm.com/arkansas-probate-intestate-succes...Here is the pertinent excerpt:If you don’t have a Will, the default order of descent goes like this: (1) full blood and adopted children of the decedent, subject to any dower, curtesy, and homestead interest of a spouse; (2) if no full blood or adopted children, then everything to a spouse of greater than three years or half of everything plus dower, curtesy, and homestead to a spouse of less than three years and the other half of everything to other heirs (per this table); (3) to the decedent’s parents or surviving siblings; (4) to the decedent’s grandparents or surviving aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.; (5) to the decedent’s great-grandparents or surviving great aunts, great uncles, etc.; (6) if none of those intermediate descendents are alive the remaining half can go to the spouse of less than three years or to a predeceased spouse’s heirs; (7) finally, if none of these apply, all the property escheats to the county where the decedent died.

This makes my blood boil beyond belief.

@Jason Frink, this page seems to cover it:https://www.omglawfirm.com/arkansas-probate-intestate-succes...Here is a pertinent snippet from that page:If you don’t have a Will, the default order of descent goes like this: (1) full blood and adopted children of the decedent, subject to any dower, curtesy, and homestead interest of a spouse; (2) if no full blood or adopted children, then everything to a spouse of greater than three years or half of everything plus dower, curtesy, and homestead to a spouse of less than three years and the other half of everything to other heirs (per this table); (3) to the decedent’s parents or surviving siblings; (4) to the decedent’s grandparents or surviving aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.; (5) to the decedent’s great-grandparents or surviving great aunts, great uncles, etc.; (6) if none of those intermediate descendents are alive the remaining half can go to the spouse of less than three years or to a predeceased spouse’s heirs; (7) finally, if none of these apply, all the property escheats to the county where the decedent died.A good way to visualize the order is to imagine the following scenario: Alfred dies without a Will.

If they are related within a 2nd degree of blood or marriage (sec. 5.062).An executory contract can be recorded the day after signing. 

I currently work in the restaurant industry and a multi-unit manager so data analysis is in my blood.

You/Me need to become the absolute experts on this--its your blood sweat & tears. 

They're not the ones who sweated blood into the place, so no offense to management companies, but I can't see going above 10% or 15% at most, assuming nothing major happens etc.I will look into those calculators, thanks, good idea.

Investors are a little bit like white blood cells in a city - they clean up the properties nobody wants or is able to take on.
