Put your small budget to work and learn the craft.

Buying the property can be a natural conclusion after helping the person in charge deal with a myriad of problems.Obviously, an ill-timed and poorly crafted letter ('I want to buy your house') or an syrupy, insincere condolence card will not buy you any favors.

You could craft a deal with the sellers to lease/option it to you and you could turn around and lease/option it back out.

Any person who has honed a craft and takes pride in their work seems to be very open to showing someone else their abilities or some of their knowledge.

There were over 3,000 pairs of shoes, 3,000 purses, endless piles of stuffed animals, lots of craft items and on and on.

That way if everything goes to hell, I know I won't be moving back in with the parents.Maybe it's just my area (Midwest) but I find it hilarious that the prospect of accumulating half a million dollars of real estate in cash is actually easier than going through the ridiculous process of crafting resumes and cover letters, submitting applications online which aren't even read by humans and are usually immediately denied, going through weeks of interviews, and maybe getting another miserable job.

It costs us $2 - $4 each to generate probate leads so you can bet we're touching EVERY ONE of those with a well-crafted series of letters.

You can send 10,000 postcards with a poorly screened list and a badly crafted message and be very disappointed.  

David, if you were to develop the lots, it could be beneficial to reach out to some builders in advance, offer them the opportunity to participate in crafting the covenants in return for them buying a set number of lots. 

I added a fourth car garage, a giant lanai, a 45 foot swimming pool, and a nice craft room for my wife with all built-in counters cabinets and shelves.
