One of the best places to start as a real estate investor is through probate sales. In other words, this is one of the ways in which you could get some properties at very low prices. You must, however, know what probate means, understand the local laws and regulations that govern this process, find the properties in question, consult with probate real estate agents, have patience and timing because it may take time for court appointment of a personal representative to occur, make sure you verify property condition and title before committing to purchasing it, understand financing challenges and have a well-thought-out bidding strategy. This can be quite time-consuming considering the legal procedures involved, court approval and likely disputes among heirs. Buyers should anticipate potential obstacles in financing and evaluate available options. For certain cases, court confirmation may be necessary implying that buyers need to be ready for further steps during the process. Lastly, it is important to set aside enough cash for your purchase before you begin looking at any properties so that you know how much you are willing to spend; understand the market value of such property; and prepare a well thought out bidding strategy for success in probate sales.
