Probate Leads for Wholesaling in Canada

[Jeff C.]

Hi all,

I am keen to start wholesaling in Ontario, Canada, and would like to know if anyone has had success generating probate lists here. From what I am seeing, probate lists aren't as accessible as they are in the U.S., but perhaps I'm missing something? 

Also, curious to hear if anyone has had good success wholesaling in Ontario? I am located in Toronto, but given the current market prices, I am looking to wholesale outside of the GTA.

Thanks!

Jeff

@Matt Geerts Even without a title search, a realtor can get you the history of transfers from the land registry.

Also, the city knows the properties for sale. If you talk to a planner for the city, or the person in charge of the tax sale, they tend to know if there are any environmental concerns and in my experience, are very useful resources to find out the history of the property. I don't mean that they know the details of every property, but if environmental concerns have come up in the past, it is likely they have heard about it.
