Any one know of a great system for finding and buying probate homes?


Residential Real Estate Agent · houston, Texas


We recently purchased Stacy Kellam's Probate Power Profits course. The material is put together very well and has a lot of detailed content.

anyone else use this system?

I have been working probate for about 1 year now. I am not having much success. The whole Count probate lists costs me only $ 3.00 fr the whole month.

One day I will find that crack head kid that inherits moms millions and I will be happy.


Real Estate Investor · Austin, Texas


Hey Mike, where did you buy a probate list for $3? That's pretty good, I haven't found any companies who supply probate leads nationwide in the form of a list yet. I'd imagine because it is so time consuming to do so....

Also, what made you switch to mobile homes and mobile home lots? I've heard you can do well buying the land under the mobile homes...Never done it though. Thanks for any advice.


Real Estate Investor · Baltimore, Maryland


As I mentioned in another post on probate... this is a great way to find motivated sellers.

The challenge of course is consistency and follow-up.

Let me explain...

By consistency I mean that you have send out a fair number of letters every week. These letters have to be focused on the issues the heirs may be facing... and the less you talk about yourself, in my opinion, the better.

Continuing with the consistency theme... you should plan on sending a follow-up letter 6 -8 weeks after the first one was sent.

Now for follow-up. I have seen on many occasions where an investor will speak with the executor/heir and at that time the investor could not get the price they needed... and moved on to other deals... only to find out a month later someone else got the property.

Always... always... always... follow-up. This is as true with probates as any other seller. Situations and circumstances change.. so you want to follow-up to make sure that when they do... you are there to capture the deal.

One other thing about dealing with estates... remember that your number one job in this negotiation is to solve the estate's problem. In many cases this can be as simple as taking the property will all of the contents and disposing of them for the seller (remember many heirs are from out of town/state) and the last thing they want to have to do is clean out a house that has 30 years of accumulated stuff.


Commercial Lender · Ocala, Florida


the most comprehensive Course on buying Probate Properties, was supposed to be from: J. G. Banks....
He used to charge 6K for his training.
I was able to buy it thru them for about $300., @ $50. a month for 6 months.....it made it easy to buy.
It is very comprehensive.
You are taught how to go to the County Courthouse & search through the records & find the potential Properties, & how to contact the Heirs, who are to be the new Owners, & make an offer.
