. #4 I think a local realtor could also effectively weigh in on the value of the property as it relates to the school (ie resale value after flip or down the road).All the best!

I have many tools I know I can use, whether passive or active advertising, but I am looking for maybe which specific is most effective and how to approach a seller after I have their attention.

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?

This would effectively make you the property manager and give you the option to purchase the property at some point down the road.

The payment was not real large so from a worker's comp liability perspective, we are effectively self-insured for claims at this level.

I do the job for cost, and we effectively split the upside 50/50.

What advantages do you gain from having the license, but none of the experience as an agent to utilize it effectively?

In terms of LOC, what would be your advice on obtaining and using effectively on of these funding options?  

People will tell you it doesn't effect your credit score if you are shopping lenders for one RE transaction, but it will have a negative effect if you do it that way.
