Enjoy BP and hope you survive the winter weather.Regards,John

I couldn't survive with out my agent, she does all th3 paperwork and we show up for closing...

My process for this was to first determine that there was not a surviving spouse and then to see if the deceased had owned any property through the county's tax assessors site.To those who have done this type of marketing before, my questions is this: is it more effective to send letters to the deceased's address (addressed generically to "Owner", not a specific name) and hope it gets forwarded to the heirs or should I research who the children are and send letters to them?

-Frank you need to make the calls, until acquiring properties become easier this should be your top priority to survive in this business.

Given the issue with the leases, I'd try a walk away close and explain to the seller how, besides $75k off asking price, they can address the gap in rent.On the leases surviving foreclosure, I'm skeptical they survive.

I had a very similar issue about 5 years ago, a shared driveway, same owner on both but only one property was secured, the shared driveway survived for use to both parcels.

I'd say I'm more of a business stud than a finance stud, thank you, LOLWhat people here want is good advice, not so much war hero stories from those that have survived some battles.

Anyone serious about business and surviving knows these are a must for several reasons.

YOU make yourself successful by constantly learning and pushing yourself to a level that few attain.That makes you valuable to clients as many want the best in their respective field.The KEY question is do you have a full or part time job doing this on the side or is this you have to make closings or you will quit in 60 days because you can't pay the bills to survive??

Such will also add value to the note with most buyers, at least in thier confidence as to the quality.Liability arising out of any note origination survives the term of the note to statutory periods, 3 or 5 years usually.
