using obituaries to find deals
I was wondering how people are using info from the obituaries to get leads. Do you have to find the lawyer in charge of the estate, or do you just send a flier to the home address hoping that the new owner will get the mail.
thank you,

Joe,
I think this area is probably wide open as I feel most people have more respect for the families who just lost a loved one.
If you want to collect a list of dead people go to your County Health Dept. for a list of death certificates issued.
They also have the County Mental Health office in the same building that you might also check out.

In Joe's defense ...
As a displaced New Yorker, I know first hand that the obituaries are one of the most common tools used in finding deals.
Whether it be for an apartment, home furnishings, clothes, etc. It's not just a skit for television and movies. <g>

RJ,
What exactly are you focusing on in the obituaries? I understand that death can cause quite a bit of emotional and possible financial distress. I would love to hear your feedback. Thanks.
I agree with John, this just seems a little too morbid, for me anyways... I mean, really think about what you're saying, you're *THAT* hard up for money/deals that you're going to go up to the family when the body's still on the slab? That's just a bit too outlandish for me...

ROF!
Scott Rister has a course on this
Good afternoon,
Who is this Scott and where can I find the information. Also, I don't think it is morbid but beneficial for all involved if they have a property they cannot sustain. It does prove beneficial to wait until matters of the estate will begin to commence. Typically 4 to 5 months. I say this because most homes have to go through probate which can take over a years time.
