I had a great conversation the other day with an operator and he called partial interest purchases "inventory" because it's going to sit on the shelf until a tax sale, partition sale, or the eventual purchase of the remaining interest. Deals are deals because there's a market of buyers. Inventory sits until it's number comes up.

When you combine both Curative + Creative, it takes fewer transactions to create financial freedom. These proceeds are tax free. I’ll dive into this more in Summer School.

Does this sound familiar “I have a partial ownership for x% and I’m on the deed, just need help getting the rest so I can flip this property for big bucks!” If you are an owner of record , no matter how small the percentage you can be held 100% liable for what happens on that property…. Was there an opening in that boarded up house , an empty pool , did someone get injured or god forbid die? The risk may be small but are you willing to roll the dice? Part of this course will address this, I don’t just focus on the possible big scores. I shared this with a young investor I met in Tulsa “My wish for you is to only have to build your fortune ONCE, and not lose it because you were careless and only were taught how to play offense and not defense to protect what you have achieved “

I am curious what everyone's favorite initial indicator is for going after their deals. It seems like the most common one mentioned by all of the top people in the space is delinquent taxes which is something I have never really looked at. For over 25 years...foreclosures have been my favorite arena to operate in and what I spend 90% of my time on. We target them specifically and find that when they have additional problem markers (dead owners/no probate, abandoned probate, large liens or judgments) they present great opportunities that most other investors walk away from because they don't know how to deal with these problems. A distant second place would be deals that have fallen out of contract due to title issues. How about you? What is your favorite place to start the hunt?

Hello everyone! P - SFH in central OH E - $120-130k T - held by 7 heirs via CT, probate completed 2024 I - 7 heirs, 1 is a hold out purely out of spite. Working with 1 heir who is running the show T - a.) affidavits of interest recorded in last few years - heirs tried to sell to wholesalers several times but were stopped by the hold out. My county treats these affidavits as a valid cloud on title and we will have to negotiate with the aff holders to release b.) active tax foreclosure with payoff amount $16,500, still have months and months until auction c.) 7th heir is uncooperative, but may deal with me. If not, we would partition and walk away with 6/7 of proceeds so not a huge issue O - Purchase 6/7 interest for $12,000, pay taxes, strip affidavits, walk away with $80-90k We've emailed back and forth with the point person several times. I've explained how the process would work ($2k each in exchange for a signed deed and COA purchase agreement), and what our risk looks like. Now she is, in a very polite way, wanting to know how much money we would make if we solve the problems that have prevented them from monetizing the property. Her latest response is attached. They last tried to sell the property for $73k, so they have that expectation set. We're curious how everyone likes to respond to sellers like this one? TIA
