Than Merrill’s 6 Steps To Finding Probate Leads Easily and Cheaply (free)

Okay, one of the most "mysterious" parts of running a successful business that separates the successful people from the unsuccessful is none other than marketing.

That’s the main differentiator… those who know how to generate qualified leads for their business (whether it’s real estate investing or any other business) will be much more successful than those who don’t know how to generate leads.

Generating Probate Leads – The 6 Easy Steps

All in all getting probate leads is a pretty simple process… but most investors just don’t know how to go about it… or they simply don’t want to put in the work to get it done (that 2nd reason is probably the most common… people just don’t want to work).

Well… I came across a 42 minute 100% instructional video (no product pitches at all)  w/ Than Merrill of "Flip This House" (he generates a bit over 200 leads a month for his biz… and this one probate strategy turned into about $270k in profits for his company in 2008).

Anyhow, click the image below to head over to the video series (it’s just the first of 4 in-depth 100% content video series on wholesaling … very detailed stuff… not basic fluff I can promise you).

The 6 Steps To Generating Probate Leads (and how to outsource it)

Basically, in the video Than and his business partner Paul actually walk you through the 6 steps and give you a mind map download that you can print out of the whole process.   Paul actually goes to the county courthouse too and shows you exactly what to say to get the records you need… and where to go (there’s more than just one type of record you’ll need… one record tells you of the probate… the other one you have to get shows you the address).

I was going to go through and create a tutorial for you on this topic… but the one that Than and Paul put together is already about as good as it gets… so if you’re wanting to generate more motivated seller leads … probates is a great way because there’s a lot less competition for those than foreclosures… and the leads are free.

Outsourcing Probate Lead Generation So You Don’t Have To Do It

One of the coolest things about the video is that Than shows how to outsource this whole process for free or very cheap (that’s what they do in their biz) so you just have to do it the first couple times… create a quick process (or give them the process map you can download on Thans video page )… and then you can pay them by the hour or get college students to intern for you (usually for free!).

(here’s a screenshot of the "probate lead getting blueprint" you can download over there)

Anyhow, you’ll see how Than does it in the video .  The first video you’ll see is a short but "cool" video basically promoting their video series… just opt in and it’ll take you right to the full 42 minute Probate Lead Gen video tutorial and the downloads.

Enjoy :-)

  1. How can I access the probate video? All links now seem to go to Mission II which succeeds the probate video. Your input would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Alan

  2. Hey Alan,

    Thanks for the comment man.

    Right now the link goes to the Mission Impossible thingy promoting the Google “page 1 in 15 minutes” strategy tutorial.

    But… after you “opt in” and you’re taken to the actual tutorial video for the Google tutorial… in the right sidebar there is a few boxes that link to the other videos.

    Just click the box that says “Video 1″ and you’re good to go.

    Here’s the link again:

  3. Any software you can reccomend that generates letters at the click of a mouse? Any good software out there for wholesalers and rehabbers? thanks!

  4. Hi Trevor, I just stumbled onto your site and think it’s great.

    I too am trying to access Than’s Probate video and cannot do it. Do you have any suggestions? I tried what you wrote above but it is not working. Thanks.

    Jim

  5. Hey Jim,

    Thanks for the comments!

    Ya, Than opened the doors to the university last week and it’s sold out… so I guess they took the videos down.

    Essentially though… the video showed where to go at the courthouse to get the records and how he systematizes it by hiring interns to do the work for him. Great system/process… let me know if you want more details.

    Thanks!
