If anyone is willing to tell me about the Staten Island market and tell me about their business, I will be willing to assist you in any way whether that is administratively or through labor for free.

I study business administration and my father works at a construction company in the area, which I hope is where my career will begin after college.

Speaking as a new investor, I am relying on my Business Administration/Finance degree to help me understand things like time value of money and analytical considerations.

(we all have the following phases: schematic design, design development, construction documents, bidding and negotiation, construction administration- you want to know timelines and deliverables)Do you engage with contractors to provide preliminary construction estimates for your designs?

If you have reached mutual agreement on a contract today, before the probate is closed, then the executor/administrator of the probate can't close the probate until your deal is done, or if they did, you'd have a contract that would be unenforceable or maybe void, because it would be a contract with someone that no longer had the legal capacity to close.  

Since getting my license two months ago, I have been working as a Buyer Specialist and Administrative Assistant on a seasoned Realtor's team.

I have also created databases of properties and the business entities that own them, which I plan to cold call as well. 

If so, how far in the administration process has the estate gone?

The fees of an administrator with a "little money" could eat into the profits.

The first thing to do is select a custodian/ administrator.
