Today we’re going to talk about whether probate properties need court approval to be sold, and how to handle the current problem tenant residing in the property.
This question was from a person new to probate who was both an agent and an investor. She was trying to help the seller who inherited the property but was stumped by how to proceed with this unusual and very sticky situation.
Here’s the situation in a nutshell:
The seller inherited a property with a non-paying tenant who also happened to be a relative. To make things even worse, the tenant refused to let the new owner into the condominium for inspection or to show the property so it could be sold. The new owner was reluctant to evict the relative but found himself in a really uncomfortable position. He inherited a property he couldn’t even enter and was getting no rent on the property.
What would you do in this situation?
Listen in to hear more about what I had to say.
[00:00 - 02:33] - Opening & Question Overview
Question comes from real estate investor & realtor, wants to purchase inherited duplex
One unit occupied by problematic non-paying tenant who is a family member
Asks if court approval is needed beyond typical probate court
[02:34 - 04:19] - Tenant Issues & Offer Considerations
Tenant not paying rent, only utilities, refused $700 cash for keys offer

I am often asked what happens to rental property during probate. Specifically, what happens to the rental income during the probate process? In today's show, I'm going to answer these questions as well as some other common questions that pertain to rental properties that are part of an estate, such as, "What happens when the tenant stops paying rent but won't move out"?
Learn the ins and outs of how to handle common tenant problems during the probate process.
[00:00 - 06:54] What to Do When Rental Income Can't Cover Expenses During Probate
The probate process involves a decision-maker (executor/administrator) Understanding how probate works helps treat money in estate properly Once the estate is opened and the executor/administrator is appointed, they can move forward with selling assets in the estate If using property management software, rents can continue to be entered into the system[06:55 - 15:13] What to Do if Property Becomes Vacant During Process
Heirs cannot have access to rental income before probate is completed Personal representatives can use the money to pay expenses related to the income-producing property If rental income is not enough to cover expenses, money from the estate can be usedQuotes:
"The executor of a probate estate has the authority to file an unlawful detainer. Just the same as if you were managing your own property or property from someone else." - Sharon Vornholt
"An executor can evict someone that ultimately will be an heir to the estate. If it's not on the deed, whatever doesn't matter. The fact is that if they are an heir, it doesn't give them the authority to live in the property rent free." - Sharon Vornholt

My guest today is veteran real estate investor Matt Larson. Matt is a full-time real estate investor with 17 years of experience who invests in multiple markets. He has done over 4,000 real estate transactions. Matt currently uses VAs to run this large-scale real estate investing business, but it wasn't always that way. At one point, like so many businesses, he had a pretty big staff that was a cash-eating machine.
Listen in as Matt talks about how he has systematized his business, so it requires very little of his time. You'll also hear about all the ups and downs of his journey, including what happened in the real estate crash in 2008 (and how he came back even more significant than before).

Matt shares how he got into real estate investing In 2008, he left his job to focus on real estate and by 2013, had 450 properties in his portfolio[07:24 - 14:47] How Sitting in the Room with Influencers Changed One Entrepreneur's Mindset Around Business
Social media have made everybody an influencer, but 95% of it is not real It is possible to run a business virtually without effort and without walking a house for 7-8 years Single-family homes are attractive because everyone needs a place to live VAs hired for their core values and skills required for single-family homes[14:48 - 23:30] Replacing a Full Staff with VAs
Acquisition salespeople are creative people, while lead managers are detail-oriented and organized thinkers When a lead comes in, the lead manager reviews all the notes in the CRM, runs comps, and determines the maximum offer price Team leads, and managers are paid 10 to 12 an hour, while acquisitions VAs are paid ten an hour plus a bonus for every closed deal[23:31 - 28:06] Using Discretion and Lead Stacking to Grow Portfolio
Americans use discretion, which is the enemy of duplication The strategy was to buy low, rent high, and sell at the top of the market for a profit The lead stacking strategy is to focus on high equity non-owner occupied and vacant non-owner occupied lists Track KPIs closely and buy new lists every week as old ones age[28:07 - 34:40] 5 Years to Financial Success
Focus on refreshing data and running two lists that will outperform Run aggressive follow-up sequences for leads Follow up with emails, texts, and phone calls Customize follow-up sequences for different motivation types[35:41 - 38:50] Closing Segment

It's a fact that you can grow your real estate investing business faster with partners when you find people who have skills you lack. Instead of trying to master everything, why not focus on what you do well and partner with someone who can fill the gaps?
That's exactly what today's guest, Ace Hagerty, did. Rather than try to do "all the things" and become a "jack of all trades," he found partners that could make his business grow faster than trying to do it alone.
Ace is a structural engineer and a Nashville-based real estate investor. He flipped his first house nine years ago. Since then, he's flipped over 200 houses and inspected thousands of residential and light commercial structures. Ace has a portfolio of long-term and short-term rentals and is currently developing from the ground up!

Ask yourself what you want in life, not what others want of you Leverage pain and pleasure to rewire your brain Use pattern interruptions to break old patterns The key to success is the 6 inches of real estate between our ears The more disciplined you are, the more freedom you have Daily habits and rituals help maintain focus and alignment[46:13 - 48:40] Closing Segment

"Everything in life is so much more fun to do with other people. But at the same time, if you want to do something great, something way beyond what you could even possibly imagine doing yourself, that's when you need to find partners, people to share this with, go on this journey with." - Ace Hagerty
"If you live someone else's life or how they think you should, it could be your parents, it could be your family, it could be your community, you are going to be unhappy." - Ace Hagerty

Real estate investors are often asked to give a presentation and that can be for a number of reasons. You may be asked to speak in person at a REIA meeting or a local meetup, to a group of investors in an online meeting, or even as a guest on a podcast.
However, one of the most important times a real estate investor needs to know how to communicate effectively is when they are meeting with a private money lender. The person you are asking to put their trust in you by loaning you money isn’t likely to do that if you can’t clearly communicate the opportunity FOR THEM. They have to feel comfortable with you and your capabilities.
If you think about it, you are actually giving a type of presentation every time you talk to a motivated seller. Being able to communicate effectively is one of the most important skills real estate investors need.
My guest today is Brenden Kumarasamy, the founder of MasterTalk. Brenden is an expert on this topic, so be prepared to take some notes on these simple but effective tips to master your next talk. You can reach out to Brenden at the links below to learn more.
[00:01 - 07:25] Opening Segment
Introducing Brenden to the show
He coaches ambitious executives and entrepreneurs on how to become the top 1% of communicators in their industry
Real estate investors need to know how to communicate effectively when meeting with a private money lender
Posture and confidence are important when presenting to motivated sellers
[07:26 - 15:27] Mastering Presentations for Real Estate Investors
Practicing the Random Word Exercise and Question Drill can help real estate investors become more proficient in their field
When giving presentations, it's essential to take a step back and ask yourself what the outcome of the presentation should be
The intention of the presentation should be tailored to the audience and goal, such as inspiring an audience or raising capital
[15:28 - 32:43] Tips for Taking Your Presentation to the Next Level
Ask yourself if the speaking engagement is a good use of time
Invest in the talk to get something out of it
Use techniques like text campaigns, social media, and freebies to draw people in
Write down a communication manifesto to be the best speaker at the conference
Introductions and closings of speeches in real estate are often bad
Focus on personal stories and your vision for the business when speaking
Spend time on ending a speech, but keep it shorter if attending an event
[32:44 - 42:33] Closing Segment
People will remember stories attached to a person's ideas, not the content itself
Bridge trust with a personal story and build credibility
Focus on one thing at a time while coaching someone
When raising capital, focus on selling the property
Quotes:
"My definition of communication is how do we convey an idea in a way that achieves a specific outcome for a specific audience." - Brenden Kumarasamy
"The goal is not to be great. The goal is to be the best speaker at the conference. So who do we need to be that person, and how much more money will we create? And in real estate, it is a lot of money." - Brenden Kumarasamy
"People will rarely remember the information that you share, but they'll always remember the stories attached to that person's idea." - Brenden Kumarasamy

I have another reader question for you today, and it’s a good one, and it has to do with what happens when someone passes away in your rental property.
The exact question was:
When a tenant passes away in your rental property, and they have a month-to-month lease with no one else on the lease, how long do you give the family to clean out the house? He was there for 15 years and had a lot of stuff. She also goes on to say they inherited the tenant when they bought the house. What a great question.
So, let’s break this down into bite-sized pieces because there are actually a lot of pieces, and some of them are legal issues to address.
[00:01 - 04:19] Opening Segment
• How to navigate probate laws when a tenant passes away in your rental property
Notify the authorities and get written documentation of the death• Work with the executor, personal representative, probate attorney, or court to ensure legal compliance
[04:20 - 08:33] Understanding the Process of Handling a Tenant's Estate After Death
• Secure the property as soon as you know that someone has passed away
• Do not allow anyone into the property until you have paperwork that declares the decision maker
• Lease extends to the expiration date, even if the tenant passes away
[08:34 - 11:09] Closing Segment
• Long-term lease requires payment until expiration by the estate
• Any unused portion must be returned to the executor
