Q&A: Has anyone done a probate real estate deal if so.?
Posted by: | CommentsQuestion by antonio_navarro23: Has anyone done a probate real estate deal if so.?
I want to get started in probate real estate I understand theres less competition then short sales. Does anyone know a good program offline or on the internet that can help me. I live in chicago Illinois so maybe there are some resources I can pull online? I have heard of Preston Ely and Ron Mead and other online gurus. Who has the best stuff at resnable price? Not thousands of dollars.
Best answer:
Answer by Expert Realtor
I have no idea of what you are talking about, considering you cannot transfer a property during probate…thus, the purpose of probate.
You must mean purchasing at ESTATE sales, where the estate cannot pay the mortgage on a house that is in probate…this is the same as a foreclosure.
Give your answer to this question below!
Has anyone heard of Preston Ely? Is he a real estate scammer?

Answer by kemperk
wholesaling to me is absurd.
If one can find such good prices,
one should buy them and keep them
and put lease option people into them.
oh well……..everyone has a pitch

Hey! That’s my property!
Posted by: | CommentsHave you ever heard of Property Fraud Alert?
I think this is a handy little service to have as part of your real estate tools because things happen- especially when we get really busy juggling multiple properties, we can miss something until we go to sell t he property.
Well, this handy little service can ward off a few un-welcome surprises.
It was designed to ward against mortgage fraud. It could be something as simple as someone recording a document to have it appear that they own your property-without your knowledge.
Property Fraud Alert is offered in certain counties. Should you decide to check out the site, it’ll ask you for the name(s) you’d like for them to monitor and the email address where you’d like to receive document alert notification.
If ever something is recorded in your name, you are immediately notified via an email alert with the following information:
- County Location
- Document Number
- Document Type
- Recorded Date
- Party Name(s)
The only downside that I see to this service right now is that it’s not offered everywhere.
If this sounds like something that would help you- Head on over to Property Fraud Alert and enter your zip code to determine if yours is a county that they serve.
Property Fraud Alert might be just what you need to help you protect your valuable property investment.

Missed Freedom$oft?
Posted by: | CommentsMissed Freedom$oft? $397 Its Yours!
Hi everyone,
I want to encourage you to pursue your dreams. I’m pursuing mine.
I sat here at my desk last Friday after everything had been tallied and
the doors were shut and headed into a rainy but wonderful weekend.
On Sunday, I had every intention of importing some leads and
sending out some direct mail to cash buyers using my new
Freedomsoft real estate system.
Oh well, I suppose that’s what I get for taking a deep breath and making plans
because I was wrong-dee-dong-dong-dong.
Instead of gearing up my own system on Sunday, I got an
updated email request from Preston asking me to help you guys out.
As you know, Freedom$oft sold out early a week or so ago and there were some
duplicate orders (people who accidentally hit the “buy” button
twice) and declined credit cards. That actually shouldn’t
have surprised us because credit card companies have
been lowering limits on everyone without even telling
them lately.
Hundreds of people missed out on the opportunity and a great number
of people missed out because they couldn’t afford the big payments.
People were begging to get Freedomsoft but were unable to afford it.
I, personally felt horrible about that.
Although, as the saying goes ‘one person’s mishap is another person’s opportunity ‘,
which means that YOU are the opportunity.
… hold your breath …
You still have a chance to get Freedom$oft!
They have opened the doors one last time today( Wednesday Feb 3) to fill
those spots!
They will close either at midnight the following day or until
the following number of available spots fill up ….
So Here’s what we got
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Platinum: 37 spots left
Gold: 124 spots left
Silver: 81 spots left
But here’s the best part …
Preston has decided to offer extended payment plans for
everyone who claims one of these remaining spots!
He said that he decided to do this for two reasons …
1. He wants these filled immediately. All our weekly
programs (Red Pill, Mastermind, 6 Week Training, etc)
are beginning this week, and we need to get you in here
quick.
2. Preston feels bad for broke people.
So let me explain exactly how this is going to work
The doors have already opened but you will enter using this secret link.
Secret Link <=== this is a very secret link
This way, you can sneak past most folks and up to the front of the line.
I told you to Stop worrying about the money! To make sure these spots go fast…
you can get started with Freedom$ft for just $397 bucks (Yes, even Platinum Level!)
I gotta call some people I know who were shut out last week to tell them
the good news!
Freedom$oft For $397! <==== Click Here
When you arrive, you will see two things – A replay
of the Freedom$oft demo/webinar from last week (in
case you missed it) and an option to choose which level
and payment option you want.
Your options will be as follows:
Silver
1 payment of $997
-or-
3 payments of $397
Gold
2 payments of $997
-or-
6 payments of $397
Platinum
3 payments of $997
-or-
8 payments of $397
If you do the math, you will find that the total of the
payments on the new extended payment plans is greater
than the total of the original payment plans. They had to
do this for obvious reasons (they have costs involved). So
you are probably better off with the original pricing
schedule, but I know that some people need that low low
payment … so there ya have it.
But before I forget…
I appreciate you for stepping up to the plate to change your life as a living example to those around you.
None of us are only doing this for the money right?
We’re doing it to make a difference in our families and overall to make the world a better place.
Get on over there, the few
spots will go quick.
Talk soon,
Karen
So there is ZERO risk to you ….except
Freedom$oft for $397! <<<<<<<Click Here
Network Your Way To Millions
Posted by: | Comments
by Preston Ely
Let’s cut to the chase.
The goal is a few hundred leads per month. You want billboards, commercials, and mass mailers going out in the tens of thousands.
There is only one small problem…
You currently have $327 a month available for marketing.
What do you do?
You have champagne taste and a malt liquor budget.
Simply put, you must start where you are and work your way up. And where you are is broke, by the way. Let that both embarrass you and motivate you at the same time. Don’t like it? Oh yes, you do. If you really didn’t like it, you’d change it. It’s comfortable to you, and you’re scared of anything else. You don’t want the responsibility.
Isn’t that true?
How does that make you feel?
You need to become a networking machine. You need to start networking so consistently and constantly that you literally hand out 95 business cards to imaginary people in your dreams at night.
Doesn’t sound fun, does it? Well how much fun is being broke? Which one is less funner to you?
The answer to that question will determine whether or not you get off your lazy arse and DO something about your life.
You gotta get in the mix, man. Mix it up. Stir it up. Put it in the oven and bake it till a cash cake appears out of nowhere.
Then eat it.
Eating the cash cake is so fun, let me tell you. Oh how glorious when cash cakes just come to you every day. What a life.
But you gotta pay your dues.
No dues? No cake. No cake for you!
Your entire community needs to know that you buy houses and close fast. That you’re the “go to” guy or gal when someone needs their house sold quickly.
How do you plan on accomplishing this?
If you have lots of money then this is easy. If you don’t, then it takes work and high levels of creativity.
Are you willing to work? How willing are you to put in some 15 hour days to really get this thing off the ground? Are you all talk by any chance? Or are you one of those rare souls who actually make something happen in this world? Who are you really?
Get out there and make some friends. Hand your card out to every single person who comes within a 3 foot radius of you. The exact card to use and the unbelievably easy conversation you need to have with these people are in my digital book that you should already have by now.
I was just having lunch with a friend of mine who has been in the real estate investing game for years already. He still hands his business card out to people in an effort to get new leads. As a matter of fact he just recently did a deal that he made over $20,000 on, and he got it from handing his business card out to a stranger at my office – Starbucks!
It is more comfortable to do nothing. It feels better to stay home and watch tv. But does it feel better really? How do you feel about yourself? About your life? On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you think your spouse respects you and what you have accomplished in life? How does that feel? Do your kids respect you or pity you? How does that feel?
Are you really safer doing nothing?
Me personally, I would rather die doing something than live doing nothing.
Get out there and mix it up. Shake it. Flip it. Bake a cash cake. Eat it. Smash it in your boss’ face. Whatever.
Until you have the funds for the big time marketing…network your way to millions.

Posted by: | CommentsTap the Hidden RE Market for Deals – Part 2
One of the Top 5 Questions at every REIA Club meeting is

- Tile Company: Absentee Owners List and use direct mail campaign
- Home Inspectors: another “hands-on” industry professional

- FSBO’s: Craigslist, Ebay, forsalebyowner.com, google, signs posted
- Bankruptcy Attorneys: know who is buying and selling. this could be a power team candidate
- Homeowners Associations: indicator that homeowner is challenged. Sometimes associations have every intention of fore-closing on a property for non-payment of dues.
- Burned out Landlords: Apartment Associations, For Rent Signs/Ads, eviction courts. Often there are indicators that a landlord is burned out and would prefer to sell. You could make their day.
** Every time you go for a ride, take a different route to get to know your neighborhood, the properties, comps, vacants and utility workers.
