probate is the process of distributing the property to the rightful owners. It also implies figuring out who the rightful heirs are & paying off creditors. This takes up to 2 yrs. So find out in what stage its in & who the heirs are.
Then off 50% of the value, Why? People who inherit homes usually prefer cash instead of having to take care, manage, maintain a home that they have inherited, so you can make a good profit.
If they accept, either find a buyer & get him financed & you keep the differnce or get a loan by yourself.
You may ask how can you sell something that you dont own, well if you sign an option to purchase that home, youi can assign that contract to someone else for a decent profit because you have an interest in that property.
