@itsrosesm What’s less than zero?

[Mark @1marklester]

@TheRockOracle1 @StubHub @ScottFriedman3 What they SHOULD do is quit selling tickets that are not immediate delivery. But they would probably lose 80% of their inventory.

[Mark @1marklester]

@TheRockOracle1 @StubHub @ScottFriedman3 Most likely the seller sold you these tickets THROUGH @stubhub weeks or months ago stating a delivery date of 24-48 hours before the event. Unless it states immediate delivery, @stubhub counts on the seller to deliver the tickets. Meanwhile when the event ..

[Mark @1marklester]

@TheRockOracle1 @StubHub @ScottFriedman3 Not sure about that. They do it on tickets in the $20-$50 range too. They just aren’t going to take a loss on substituting tickets in a similar area of the arena or stadium.

[Mark @1marklester]

@TheRockOracle1 @StubHub @ScottFriedman3 They give you your $500.00 back while earning interest for ___ weeks or months and leave you out in the parking lot waiting for delivery of your tickets. Hire an attorney.

[Mark @1marklester]

@TheRockOracle1 @StubHub @ScottFriedman3 When the event skyrockets, the seller goes to another site and sells them for today’s price. So if you buy them for say, $500.00 each and they are now going for 2k each, @stubhub isn’t going to send you a similiar ticket and eat $1500.00…

@MintzGolf And it shows!

@EvanStrothers @StubHub @TeamStubHub Original seller put them on @stubhub and then waited until closer to match and listed them on another site and got a better offer.

There's a house in my neighborhood that has been empty for 3 years

The owner died. Her kids live in California. They have never visited. The lawn is overgrown. The mailbox is overflowing. The HOA sends violation letters to an address nobody checks

That house is worth $140,000 sitting there rotting

I'm going to buy it for $80,000. And the family is going to thank me for it

This is where 70% of my deals come from. Dead people's houses. I know how that sounds. Here's why it's the most ethical way to buy real estate

When someone dies and leaves a house to their kids, a few things happen almost immediately:

1. The kids don't want the house. They live somewhere else. They have their own homes, their own mortgages, their own lives. A house in a different state is not an inheritance. It's a problem. It needs insurance, property taxes, maintenance, lawn care, utilities to keep the pipes from freezing. Every month they don't sell it costs them $500-$800 in carrying costs they weren't expecting

2. The house is in probate. Probate is the legal process of transferring a dead person's assets to their heirs. It takes 6-18 months depending on the state. During that time the heirs can't easily sell through normal channels. Most realtors won't touch a probate property because the timeline is unpredictable and their commission might take a year to close

3. The house is deteriorating. Nobody is maintaining it. The lawn dies. The gutters fill up. A small roof leak becomes water damage and then mold. Every month the house sits empty it loses value. A house that was worth $150,000 when grandma died might be worth $130,000 by the time probate clears because nobody patched the leak in month 2

4. The heirs want cash. They don't want to renovate. They don't want to list it and wait 90 days for a buyer. They don't want to coordinate with a realtor from 2,000 miles away. They want someone to hand them a check so they can close the chapter and move on with their lives

That's where I come in

I find probate properties through public records at the county clerk's office. When someone dies, a probate case gets filed. It's public information. I can see the property address, the heirs' names, and the attorney handling the estate

I reach out to the attorney or the heirs directly. I say: "I buy houses for cash. I can close in 7-14 days. I'll handle the title work, the cleanout, everything. You don't have to visit the property or spend a dollar. Tell me what number works for you"

They almost always say yes. Because the alternative is paying $800/month in carrying costs for a house they'll never live in while they wait for a realtor to find a buyer who might back out after the inspection reveals the roof leak and the mold and the outdated electrical panel

I bought a 3-bedroom last year from a woman in San Diego whose mother had passed 8 months earlier. The house had been sitting empty the entire time. Property taxes were $3,200 behind. The lawn was knee-high. A pipe had burst during winter and there was water damage in the kitchen

She wanted $100,000. I offered $97,000 and she accepted within an hour because she needed the money to pay for her mother's funeral expenses that were still on a credit card

I put $31,000 into renovation. The house appraised at $205,000. I rent it to a Section 8 tenant for $1,375/month. The government pays all of it

"But you took advantage of her"

I took a rotting house off her hands that was costing her $800/month to not live in. I paid her $97,000 in cash in 7 days when no realtor in her market would even return her calls because the property was in probate and needed $30,000 in work. She called me after closing and thanked me because she'd been having anxiety attacks about the property taxes and the burst pipe and the HOA violations she was getting fined for

I made money on the deal. She solved a problem that was ruining her life. The neighborhood got a renovated house instead of a rotting one. The Section 8 tenant got a home they'd been waiting years for

Everyone involved is better off than they were before I showed up

Roughly 2.8 million people die in the US every year. Somewhere between 60-70% of them own real estate. A significant portion of those properties end up in limbo because the heirs don't know what to do, can't afford to maintain them, and don't have the time or money to renovate and sell at full market value

Those houses are in every city, in every state, on every street. Including yours

The house sitting empty in your neighborhood right now is someone's future rental property. Someone is going to buy it for 60 cents on the dollar, paint it, put in floors, and rent it to a government-funded tenant who pays $1,200/month

That someone should be you

You find probate properties at your county clerk's office. The records are public. The attorneys handling the estates are listed. The phone call takes 3 minutes

Or you can keep paying $1,800/month in rent to the guy who already figured this out

@offdeblockchain @TeamStubHub You’ll have better luck rubbing on an old lamp and a genie popping out than those crooks giving you the same or better seats. They don’t care no matter what excuse you give them.

@hxxntrr If you really mean what you are preaching, this is whats wrong in the world today. “What can I get for free and not have to pay for it?”
Why not just get a job and work for it? Hopefully you are just a site looking for engagements but you’re no different than a thief.
