I like to ask myself, how does my account rep get paid? 

Get to know some title reps too as they are really helpful, and you will be using them.Go crush it and make it win win win!

Thousands of reps and everything seems like secret sauce.

I got burned in 2005 when I bought at the height of the market so I would love for the shoe to drop and prices to fall.

If I was in your shoes, I would do one of two things depending on if you want a contract which would hold them for a definite period of time, or you just want them until you are unable to bear it:1.

For those of you who market to probate deals, do you have a better response and success rate mailing letters to the Beneficiaries/Heirs as well as the Personal Rep/Executor?

@Leonard Rybak I was in the exact same shoes as you 2 years ago right before COVID-19 hit.

If I were in your shoes, I would get an estimate and then decide.

I know I should qualify as a REP to do this, but my CPA is saying that the first year of property purchase is considered as an 'active participant' and don't have to be a REP.

Tax benefits would be more along the lines of accelerated depreciation, REPS, just to name a couple.I’m curious though, why the property co-owned with your parents is on a Schedule C.
