Episode Description from the Publisher

What happens when three heirs own a property, but one of them can't be found?For many real estate investors and wholesalers, that's where the deal dies.But that was only one of the problems with this New Orleans property.In this episode of the Messy Money Podcast, Courtney Fricke sits down with Stephen Keighery of Home Buyer Louisiana to break down a real curative title deal his team recently closed.Home Buyer Louisiana originally spoke with the family in 2021. Five years later, the situation looked very different. Instead of immediately writing it off as a dead lead, Steve's team kept asking a simple question:Is there still an economically viable path to closing?One of the biggest lessons from this case study is that you don't necessarily need to know the solution before pursuing the opportunity.And sometimes that's the difference between a dead lead and a deal.It's not always finding a more motivated seller. It's knowing what problem actually needs to be solved — and whether the economics justify solving it.ATTENTION:The information shared in this episode is for educational and informational purposes only and reflects personal experiences and opinions.
