Probate and Distressed Property

For buyers willing to handle what others avoid

Most buyers want a sound property with clean paperwork, so competition for those is fierce and discounts are thin. Probate and distressed buying goes deliberately towards the properties that make ordinary buyers nervous: the house empty since its owner died, the flat a lender has taken back, the property with no working kitchen, a short lease, a title problem or a seller who must move by a certain date. This book explains why these properties are avoided, why that avoidance creates the opportunity and who the strategy genuinely suits. It asks you to assess honestly your temperament, resources and character, sets out the single process shape behind every distressed situation, and separates what you need from what you do not. A thirty-day plan gets you ready, and a chapter covers the five mistakes behind most serious losses. The book is clear that every distressed property is different and one misjudgement can wipe out the discount. Next in this series: “Pricing a Property Nobody Else Wants”.
