Every time I purchase or refi a property, I state numerous times very clearly that I have a mailing address (PO Box) that I want everything sent to since I do not live at the subject property and don't want my mail going there.

I have done a personal inspection and found numerous problems.

By the way, what will be the difference in contacting the executor through the probate process as oppose to waiting for files to close and then contacting heirs at a later date once they've received numerous calls/offers?

So wrapping them in duct tape is not my optimal solution.I am willing to get a hepa mask and suit up and attempt to do the work myself but I am a littel hesitant as I have not dealt with this before and not even sure if I am legally allowed to.It is an unfinished basement that is empty except for the boiler and washer/dryer so maybe if I put plastic and seal off the entrance to upstairs wet the asbestos and remove/double bag it it is doable.

After numerous attempts, I was finally successful (calling from a number unknown to them) but they basically told me that I had lost all my money, and lost the opportunity to foreclose on the 10 properties (a loss of the substantial profits they projected), even though I paid them $17,500 for this and they, as my agent, were supposed to be managing it with a fiduciary responsibility to me.

Which is a great starting point for investors starting out and getting their feet wet.

I just want to start learning and preparing now and maybe I can get my toes wet in 4-12 months.What I love about real estate is all the different options you have in executing deals.

Looking at who to network with in WA I find numerous ones that have not been active for 4 years.

I have tried numerous lockboxes and cannot find a box that is big enough for the remote.

There are numerous ways the promoter of these deals can make money - the purchase itself, the rehab, the property management, the loan to help you purchase it, and, once you've had enough, selling the property.
