I gambled big back in 2007 and lost it all.

Setting up a website is SO SIMPLE and once someone completes your web form their information is automatically stored in Freedom$oft for you to manipulate as needed.I've used it for over two years now and have had great success getting FSBO leads that are not on the MLS.  

@Jeremy WinrightHello and Welcome to BiggerPockets, the Best Real Estate on the web.

I use a web based software called Reifax which allows me to pull properties in probate however it only seems to provide me the name of the deceased in addition to necessary property information.

All of which I could have found on this web site.  

Otherwise it is a gambling not investing.

Now my dilemma is this, i can go regular conventional residential loan and pull cash out and get the standard 30 year 4.75 rate and be on the safe side. the downside is i have to wait 6 months for seasoning and also after 4 mortgages, which i plan on aquiring 2 properties per year, it will be hard to find financing( i was planning on having my wife put mortgages under her name once i reach this issue but realize they also use a dti ratio for their lending criteria so it is somewhat a gamble too ).Or i can go with a portfolio lender and get a commercial loan. i wont have to wait for that seasoning period, i build a relationship with a great bank and they are creative with financing so it wont be AS hard to acquire more than 4 properties.

I think you'll find that buying land for appreciation can be a huge gamble and a long term play.
