But, should you find yourself having to legally take this route with an inherited property, getting legal advice from a qualified local probate attorney and qualified Probate Certified real estate professional are essential steps. Putting this off for months, (some have even waited years) robs you of valuable and much needed professional advice that is essential for taking the right NEXT STEPS. Knowledge is power, and misinformation will prove to be very costly. This is one of several book in a series of short, easy- to- read topics in real estate. They are designed to arm you with quick and effective tools to better navigate through your real estate acquisitions and liquidations, buying and selling. Life impacts our housing choices: death, relocation, downsizing, upsizing, investing. Like with bobsledding, we like to plan and prepare well in advance, yet we also have to navigate through those hairpin turns that can blind- side us. The focus in each book in the series is to concentrate on making a purchase plan that works, is profitable, and minimizes mistakes and unnecessary risks. What you don't know can hurt you, or at least cost you in money and time. Sometimes lots of money and lots of time. Throughout the books, it will often be recommended to seek out professional advice for specific purposes. Ignore that at your own risk. Buying and selling real estate is an involved process, involving state laws, federal laws, zoning, building permits, master planned community fees and regulations, escrow and title regulations and fees, costs to finance, costs to buy and sell. There are also costs to own and maintain properties. While not guaranteed as all inclusive, each book will give you the lay of the land, and a start in how to approach each type of property, whether buying or selling. Owning real estate can be fun and exciting, like that bobsled run. The key is to make a sound plan, consult with the best experts, and then enjoy! Now grab a book. Sincerely,
