(That would be quite a trick).As for real estate, probate laws and courts provides a way for someone else to transfer assets, including real estate, subject satisfying any debts that you've incurred prior to passing.As for real estate opportunities, think of them in terms of a timeline:Pre-probate - prior to any legal title transferDuring probate - property sold during the probate processPost-probate - property that has been distributed and transferred to an heir or beneficiary under a willThese are my definitions.

I have a few tricks you may be interested in.

I've seen groups partner with a non-profit, the non-profit buys in their name, the operating partner does the rehab, provides the capital, and deals with the resale, and the non-profit and operating partner split the profits in some manner.I'm not a fan of option 3 but it's a creative trick.

I've never heard of the pepper trick, Minh.

@Mark H. you have a real how to get it done 101 in this post I will look at this often as I am doing my renovations on my properties.great advice and@Cheryl C.Thinking is what I feel in my heart give people something they can be proud to call homeand pick tenants that can appreciate the details.dont break the bank but a couple of well thought withdrawls should do the trick.

It can be quite enlightening to see where the money goes.One trick we used to use when we were younger is to spend only cash, other than for scheduled bills like rent or a car payment.

I've heard of the "gurus" and virtual wholesalers using trulia heat maps and trends to find the best areas to wholesale in.

I can give you 2 quick tips though:1) Find out which zip codes have a high volume of cash transactions on the MLS month after month - look for trends - if you don't have access to the MLS then your first job is to get access or to become friends with someone that does.2) Back track in the tax records who these buyers are.

What I came across mostly was that as soon as they heard I had a real estate license, they assumed that I wasn't serious about buying but trying to get my foot in the door to trick them into signing a listing.

Would you like to have some local professionals give market update, legal, or current trend presentations?
