Thanks for the feedback, I will probably stick with my area of expertise.

Welcome to BP what are your areas of expertise?

I do not know if that is still the practice or if estates that are not probated through the courts are now publicly available.

I would look at playing the Wholesaler role, where you locate properties that meet investors' criteria, put those properties under contract, and then either assign the contracts to an investor for a fee (in CA the fee is between $5k - $10K) or you do a joint venture with an investor where you split the risk and the profit (you bring your time and expertise, the investor brings the money).My company manages these types of deals so I can give you more detailed information if you need it.God Bless You!

In my practice we have had a couple recent deals that involved Option Contracts so I wanted to share some different ways to work with a potential client that is involved in a Lease with Option to Purchase Contract.

I am currently using allied schools Exam Cram DVD and Exam practice tests.

With prospective tenants, it's usually the prior landlord (versus the current landlord) that has more to say and a more practical picture of their rental payment history in my experience. 

This has been a common practice for many homes lately. 

I doubt the current owners would agree to that but zoning is not my expertise. 

A civil law practice rather than a real estate practice is probably more suited to the lawsuit you are contemplating.
