Everything was online so I gathered all the information that I needed from the Petition for Estate Admin pdf.

I'm here in Southern California, I invest in the Antelope Valley and I've got my first Direct Mail campaign that just arrived as of today.

Alternatively, your former PR (executor) may be able to append the prior Order by Petitioning the court for an Amended Order.Of course, I am not an attorney however probate ihas been my niche for three decades and it's all about finding practical solutions to others' problems.

I'm a software designer with a wife, 2 kiddos, and a third baby arriving in a few weeks.I'm fairly new to the Spokane area, just moved here a bit over a year ago, but I absolutely love it.

As you are an out of state investor, it would be wise to have someone from the area show you around when you arrive in town.

Every time they are missing a document they have to stop and wait for them to arrive. 

Sellers never factor in the time to fix something or aggravation to a buyer.Think of it this way.I see a house finished and in great shape newly updated asking 200,000.I then see a house needing work discounted at 185,000 needing about 15k of work.As a home purchaser WHY would you buy the 185k house, put about 15k in it to then arrive at a point where you just could have bought the house already done at the same price??

That's okay, you'll catch on and my post will be there when the Jedi arrives, you can review it then.

I bought the book The Complete Guide to Buying and Selling Apartments by Steve Berges, 2nd Edition and it should be arriving today, 6/20/2014.

If, as you say, there is no significant cash flow to be had, and if you have not yet run any numbers, how did you arrive at the decision to make an offer?
