care of the home or update it regularly. This combination of realism and need to sell makes purchasing a residential probate home easy. Executors who are living out of state may be even more willing to make a deal for the home. They simply don’t want to have to try to manage the home while they are living so far away. From a practical perspective, most Executors are also open to a quick closing, something that those in the traditional market or foreclosure mar- ket simply don’t benefit from. In fact, quick closings are the norm in the pro- bate market, which is ideal for families who need to make a rapid transition to accommodate school and work sched- ules. While a traditional closing for a residential home may take up to ninety days, and a closing for a foreclosed property can take just as long, if not longer, a closing for a probate property can be as quick as thirty days, depend- ing on whether or not the home has been cleaned out or not. Probates Never Go Out of Season A wide range of residential homes are always available and are not subject to the normal, seasonal supply and demand issues that are seen in the traditional residential real estate market.

To me, a mentor is someone who has been through what you are going through, stayed in the game and cares enough about the next guy to reach back and grab their hand and pull them through it too. One of my favorite sayings that I share with anyone that will lis- ten is “Wisdom earned through experience is too expensive- you will pay for your education one way or another, why not take the short cut?” You see, if you make a mistake that you have to work your own way through, not only do you typically lose money, but you also lose time and energy. That means all 3 of your resources to you need to create wealth. While you can always make more money, you will never get back that time or energy. So, I fully believe it is worth aligning yourself with key individuals who can help you navigate the areas they have mastered and learn from them rather trying to pioneer the trail yourself. of life: Spiritual, Family, Health, Business, Financial. When you realize you need help on one of the areas, find someone who can help you navigate the path to your dream (and don’t make your dream smaller so you don’t have to grow!). Lastly, be willing to pay that mentor for the help they will give you. Remember they paid a price to gain the wisdom you are get- ting. The price they paid is most likely way more than you can afford, and way more painful than you want to endure. You will pay for your education one way or another- do you want to go to the school of hard knocks or the school of “life hacks”? v Lori Greymont Take Care, Lori Greymont, CEO of Summit Assets Group helps investors find dependable passive income.
