I think the reason is they just don ’ t have the knowledge they need about probate investing and how the process works . Probate investing is not that much different than other niches , but because the property is part of an estate that seems to make a difference in the way people feel about it .

There is less competition for several reasons .
● A lot of investors just think it ’ s just strange working in this niche .

I hear this comment all the time . Sellers are all pretty much the same . It just so happens that folks in probate are there because someone died . They are also there because they have a problem ; they have a house they need to sell , and that ’ s why they need us . We are there to help them solve a problem . It really is that simple .
