Don’t advertise the option price upfrontYou’re right, almost nobody posts it publicly.Not because it’s a secret, but because:You need to confirm they can actually qualify to exercise the optionYou need to verify their timeline + income + creditYou want the flexibility to adjust the strike price based on market data at the time they’re screenedThe proper flow is:Advertise it as “Rent-to-Own / Lease Option”Screen them like a normal tenant (income, background, rental history)Once approved, then present the option structure, option fee, strike price, and timelineIf you share it too early, you get tire-kickers who want an option fee refund when they get denied.

Worst case: send a physical letterA simple letter to the tax mailing address saying “interested in purchasing the property” can flush out the heir or the representative.A lot of probate folks won’t answer unknown calls, but they’ll respond to a letter.Probate deals take patience, but they’re usually worth the effort because most investors avoid them.

Keep doing the exercise of running the numbers.
